It sounds like this is the same feature as is in 1.4; it's just that 1.4 turns it on by default and 1.3 does not. I've implemented this in my code (essentially a one line fix) and will begin to test. Unfortunately, we see the issue so infrequently, it will probably be several months before we can conclude whether this resolved the problem or not.
