That was intended as a feature, actually. The value you want can, obviously, be gotten by a single subtraction. But if you want to implement, for example, a cockpit altitude enunciator or radar altimeter, you will need the value computed from the gear position. I have no problems with the proposed patch, although I'd strongly suggest keeping the current value and setting it into a "gear-agl-m" property or somesuch. Someone will no doubt want it.
