Lars, it's the discovery of bugs like this that lead me to conclude two
things:

 1. I'd like much more testing of this feature before we consider it for
    release.

 2. We need a suite of tests for this feature, because it makes a rather
    fundamental change, and I'd like some coverage to ensure that others
    working in similar areas won't break it in future.
