Argh, I think I see that's going on. I switched the order of some 
operations without thinking about it, and moved a test outside of the 
console lock.

Since you cannot see this on -rc9, can you go back to -rc8 and test this 
patch (instead of the revert) on top of that? I'm pretty sure this is it, 
but it would be good to have it confirmed.
