AFAICS this is still a problem in 3.2.
Comment 2 Yaakov Selkowitz 2011-12-05 04:47:03 UTC 
Jon, you might try updating the Version: tag below in order to get this some more visibility.
Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2011-12-30 05:04:13 UTC 
I believe this is fixed in current git master.
Comment 4 Jon Turney 2012-01-20 20:28:06 UTC 
Confirming this is fixed in 3.2.3, presumably this has the same underling cause as bug #650943.

Thanks.
