I only verified it in 4.5.  I have not had the time or need to look into it for 
4.6, though from other (somewhat related) discussions, I get the impression that 
it still exists.  If someone can prove that this is not the case, that would be 
welcome news.  It is my understanding that a more elegant bugfix is in the works.
