I belive you that there is still a bug here; I am only asking that you file
it separately rather than reopen this old bug (which describes a problem in
a different plugin which has been fixed).

It becomes very difficult to keep track of issues when they are lumped
together in a single bug, as multiple actions need to be taken in the course
of fixing them and this cannot be reflected accurately in the status of a
single bug.
