Comment (by osa1):

 It's not surprising when you read the code, the question is whether this
 behavior makes sense or right from a user's point of view. I see no
 mentions of this in the user manual, and as a user I wouldn't expect
 enabling an unused feature to change runtime behavior of my programs.
