I have added a comment on the bug [1] outlining what I think is the right solution here, however - it is far from a trivial change. Let me know if the comment on the bug makes sense and if I need to add more information. I will try to devote some time to fixing this, as I believe this is causing us a lot more problems in the gate on an ongoing basis (see [2] for example), but the discussion in the bug should be enough to get anyone else who may want to pick it up on the right path to making progress!
