Thanks for finding this, Julian! Could you please file an issue for this?

I expect that we'll find several such bugs. The related path hunting code
needs thorough review and testing. It passes the tests we have, but it
seems likely that it will still get confused in some situations.

That's one of the reason why I think we should issue an alpha release
(and eventually release 1.10.0) to get sufficient testing.
I don't expect this feature to be fully stable for the .0 release.
