Sorry for delay, I was taken by some other business :)
I fixed the bug you reported: check new version.

There are some problems with RB rewriter in some cases. 
For example it's hard to rewrite the sender of one message inside a cascaded 
messages because it entails changing some surrounding nodes to be a correct 
transformation.
There are other cases like that that don't do what one expects.
I can have a look to fix these cases, but I'm afraid to break many tools 
relying on the current behavior of the rewriter :)
But if I can succeed doing that, I can keep using RB rewriter of course.
