Hi Phil,

You seem to have good steps to reproduce and useful details. Have you
already filed a bug on this? If no, I'm happy to help you do that if you
don't know or want to do it yourself. I would like to connect you with a
dev directly, if possible, so that they can better understand the specifics
of your instance.

Thanks,

Lawrence
