Thank you; I've now applied your patch here since it seems to fix the
use cases reported.  However, I didn't include the tests in your patch,
since they seemed to cover the same cases as Damien's (and they were
more extensive, so I applied those instead).

Besides, it doesn't look like you have copyright assignment papers on
file, and for larger patches we require copyright assignments to the
FSF.  If you plan on submitting further patches in the future, it might
be a good idea to do the paperwork now -- would you be willing to do so?
