Okay, now I'm officially confused. I don't see how the patch [0] I've
submitted for this issue does not satisfy what you're saying.

Ideally, I'd like to see you produce a patch for bug#466550 that
demonstrates what you're saying, so I can see the difference. I can
understand if that's too much effort though.
