Subject: edit_lines with regex promiser does not work

This has been brought up more than once.
I understand (partly) that depth_search and edit_lines are a big thing (why,
actually?), but the reference proposes that
body common control
{
bundlesequence => { "testbundle" };
}
########################################################
bundle agent testbundle
{
files:
"/tmp/test/.*"
edit_line => add_line;
}
bundle edit_line add_line
{
insert_lines:
"this line should be there";
}
should work.
It does not, actually:
$ touch /tmp/test/{a,b,c}.txt
$ ls -l /tmp/test/

As pointed out in various locations here and in the bugtracker, only one file
(here: a.txt) is ever edited.
I can see no workaround here, as in my case, I'm trying to edit files under
/etc/logrotate.d where application packages (rpm) drop their logrotation
policies and I do not always know which ones are present.
I'd like to second my fellow posters who have to cope with similar problems.
Can this please be made possible somehow?
Thanks,
Sven
