Of course it has everything to do with the module, what else? The 2.4.4
does the correct thing and takes the list as it is: a list. The module
documentation also says it needs to be a list.
However, 2.5+ takes that list as a string for some reason and wraps it in a
list ending in that silly state of a list inside a list. That can't be
right.
