Thanks for digging!  I've now done some `git blame` calls and found
out that this behaviour was there from the very beginning of the
auto-beamer's existence (in 1999).  Honestly, I don't see any reason
for it – who likes delayed actions like this?

Very nice!  Maybe we should add your fix to the git repository?
