The problem was not in the start but in the wait (hint: the status is
set in the wait). The difference I guess is r27880, which seems not to
be in the 1.8.

So, the 1.8 is not returning the correct status for persistent
inactive requests, but it does the right thing for MPI_PROC_NULL bound
requests.
