The problem here is that you make several promises in one. So part of the
promise
succeeded and therefore this is reported ok. This issue has come up before, but
it
is unclear how to solve this problem generally at present.
No solution is expected in the near future. A work around is to split the
promise into
separate perms, copy, etc
