Nit: So IIUC your cover letter even this /used/ to work but broke only recently? So I feel like the message is a bit misleading (i.e. you argue for a change in behavior instead of calling it a bug fix for a regression. I think a bug fix for a regression is harder to revert as compared to a "new" behavior) I agree on the code, though.
