I consider this the intention of the author and thus not a bug. In the
TeX world not every package can work in any possible combination.

I would close this bug, or better, will close this bug. But for now I am
tagging it with wontfix.

Josh, if you want you can carry this discussion to the upstream author
and convince him that it was/is a bad decision.

Best wishes

Norbert
