Thanks for the reply. Well there is either a bug in the system or the documentation because the docs do not mention this as far as I can tell. Inconsistencies like this could produce major errors in my application and I would consider that a huge defect regardless of whether it is documented. As I've only seen it once, I'll hope it doesn't happen again...
