Yeah, quite likely, so I'm closing thing bug report.
(Note that I'm not against changing this is somebody has a convincing
argument why it should be changed -- but I think if we change the
behaviour of something like this, the change should be obviously and
clearly for the better, and this is more of an "uhm... I guess either
works?" kind of situation, in which case "don't change" wins.)
