Looks like this was introduced in >= 3.3. So its been there for quite a while. Its a bit of a corner case, since it requires, 'line' to be specified before anything else. It depends on on how you order your query. I found the bug via code inspection - no bug reports that I'm aware of. So I wouldn't think this is an urgent fix.
