You filed the issue, tying the various bits of information together,
that's a good first step.
As you've probably seen, I also added a note about your mail-thread
and corresponding issue to the dev-thread I talked about earlier, to
give it some more visibility.
Maybe someone will pick this up and start working on it. But keep in
mind that there are a lot of issues, some of which impact a lot of
users (and everyone has his own priorities of course).
Some of the things you can do to get this issue forward are (a) help
drive (or participate in) the discussion to get to the finer details
of the desired behavior and (b) write a patch :-). Also, since you
filed this as a "defect", it would be helpful if you wrote an XFAIL
("expected fail") testcase for our (python) testsuite (which can be
used to clearly demonstrate the problem, and later as a regression
test, when the issue gets fixed).
If you're interested, you should probably head over to the dev@
mailinglist for continuing the discussion. If you want to have a go at
writing a patch (or a regression test), you should take a look at the
community guide [1] (and of course, feel free to ask any questions
that might come up, on the dev-list).
