It's not the new directory that's the problem, it's the new config
symbol that needs to be enabled (and isn't enabled by default).
Upstream developers keep making this mistake and we don't currently have
an automatic way to detect it.

Anyway, thanks for the good bug report - this will be easy to fix.
