Not to hijack this post, but why does subs(phi(z,t).diff(z),...) work when phi(z,t).diff(t,2) does not contain any derivatives of phi with respect to z? It seems like this substitution is saying that phi(z,t).diff(z) = phi(z,t)

I'm new to sympy, so I apologize if this is a stupid question.

I recently updated from sympy 0.7.4 (I tihnk) to 0.7.6 and now I have some very strange behaviour with subs. The following code

from sympy.abc import phi
import sympy as sp

z=sp.Symbol('z')
t=sp.Symbol('t')
sp.pprint((phi(z,t).diff(t,2)).subs(phi(z,t).diff(z),sp.Symbol('b')(z,t)).expand())


gives me the output
  2
 ∂
───(b(z, t))
  2
∂t
but I would expect the output
  2
 ∂
───(φ(z, t))
  2
∂t

This was working perfectly in my previous version of sympy.
