Clearly this is a bug. We can either consider this to be a documentation bug
or a code bug. I think I prefer to support the feature as documented so I say
we claim it to be a code bug.

A decent approach to get this fixed would be to

  a) write up a unit test that verifies the existing functionality
  b) make the unit test also verify the documented functionalty
  c) write the patch to make step (b) work
  d) submit patch(es) for the relevant work to this mailing list

Are you willing to take a shot at it?
