Yes, quite odd. In my initial investigation I did grep -ri "prompt" on the patches and found nothing. Some time later after a bunch of testing, I figured, well, I should upgrade from patch level 10 to 17 before reporting it, and then it was gone. If your curious or doubt this was the real issue, I could double check and narrow it down to a specific patch that fixes it.
