I just checked with 1.7 client, it shows the same behaviour.

Best regards,

I can understand that this is expected to work, because one expects file externals to behave similarly to dir externals. But I'm not really sure if file externals were designed to do this.

Can you perhaps check with some older clients (1.7, maybe also 1.6), to at least see if this is a regression or "it has always been like that".
