It's a good thing you've brought this up, since that post from Kevin
and another he posted a few days later include patches which fix both
of the issues you're experiencing; there were some problems with the
patches which prevented them being applied for testing, so they seem
to have fallen by the wayside.

I certainly think they would be a useful improvement on the current
behaviour, so I've tidied the patches up to make them work with the
current version; attached is the output of your snippet with the
patches applied.

Regards,
Neil
