Here's a possible fix. Cool. I'm all for it, in principle, not that I have any particular expertise in reviewing it. Barring comments from Patrice, might as well try it (plus doc + test?)?
BTW, something strange went wrong in the email formatting as sent (I guess):
+ if (grep {$_->{'cmdname'} eq 'multitable'}
@{$self->{'format_context'}}) {
k
