Let me look after it in the weekend and let's see whether we can unbreak
it. I don't think there is really a big issue. The last time we had a
similar issue was the regression introduced by 974b9b2c68f3 which got fixed
with the simple fix in bd05220c7be3.

It's probably similarly trivial to fix the current regression.
