It seems to work, nevertheless. But it would of course be better if this
was the defined behaviour. :-)

I am currently not making use of it, but I think it would fill a gap in
the API and might be useful in the future. (Especially since Genesis now
also shows sync notifications for syncs triggered by other clients, it
might be better to show the server name in the sync result
notification.)
