I'm really sorry - I honestly don't know how this slipped through. I went through _so_ many revisions of this patch trying to make sure that everything was correct. I caught this mistake and fixed it, but fat-fingered and sent the wrong version. I'm really annoyed at myself - I've put a lot of time into this change. I got the hard parts right, and went and found a way to screw up the simple part - sending the right $^#&@! version.
