Hi, Thanks for filing this bug. I have downgraded it to important because I do not think this is release critical (in the sense that it should be stalling a release). I do agree it is a bug and it would be great to have. So please consider applying it and requesting an unblock for it (if it happens during the freeze). Thanks, ~Niels
