I'll second that, but maybe a setting could be added (unless it already exists) to switch this on or off. Like this we could use this switch to ease legacy issues while preserving the directions chosen by the lead devs of H2.
As for moving to 1.4.188, some times you have no choice but to move on. I recently tried to use linked table on SQlite database from ITIS (taxonomy) and it works only with 1.4.188. Anything else will trigger a NPE, and if not fixed on an older branch like 1.3, you have to move to the latest or use other tricks than linked tables.
