That certainly isn't supposed to happen. As you say, the code is supposed to disable that and isn't behaving as intended. It is hard to say more though. Is there a test case you can share with us so we can reproduce the issue? Without some way to replicate of more details of the environment this occurred in, debugging it will be very hard.
