I submitted a patch for a quick fix, but there are some conceptual problems 
with non-ajax components that need to be thought through, so I think Massimo 
may have postponed applying the patch until we figure that out. For example, 
the fix for this particular issue would involve copying 
response.generic_patterns to other_response.generic_patterns (which is the 
response object used by the component). But what if the parent page action 
made changes to response.generic_patterns -- should those changes propogate 
to the component (which is what would happen with the simple fix), or should 
the component not see those changes (that's a lot harder to work out without 
re-running the models)? Note, this issue is not limited to generic_patterns.
 
Also, I think Massimo has just been very busy the past couple weeks, so 
there haven't been a lot of commits in general.
