When I initially changed this part, while submitting the PR, I had thought
about it a bit whether or not to stick with the previous behaviour. Given that
it was noted as a "limitation" (in the javadoc), I had decided to change the
behaviour. But thinking about it again, I do agree with you that it isn't worth
changing the previous behaviour (without knowing the complete impact). So I
have switched back to the previous semantic, in this part of the code and
updated the PR
