I ran into the same thing and made a patch a long while ago (the one Martin mentioned): https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=305470&aid=1121142&group_id=5470 I am actually working on it this weekend; if you'd like to exchange code/test cases/whatever feel free to send me your stuff. I'll try to get a patch that works against the trunk posted today or tomorrow if you want to try it out.
