Thanks for the report. It seems like a regression from fixing bug#65631.

Here's a patch that addresses it.

I'm not 100% convinced it this direction, though, (things are getting 
more complex) so it would be great if it you could try it out and see if 
there are any other scenarios that worked for you before, that still are 
not good with this patch applied.
