      Fixing a user
    interface design inconsistency that leads to bad results in marginal
    cases is to be weighed against the likelihood of the respective fix
    introducing more severe problems that might go unnoticed before the
    release.

This fix is localized.  It has a minor problem, which I asked Per to
help fix, but even with that minor problem it is nowhere near as
confusing as the old interface.
