Comment:

 Fair enough. I took a look at what it would take to fix this, too, and
 came to much the same conclusion. I was rather hoping you might see some
 refactoring that would fix this bug ''and'' simplify gobs of other code in
 the process, as you sometimes do. When I have a chance, I might see if
 this behavior can be documented somewhere, as it did truly confuse me when
 I first hit it.
