Rene, any word from you on this? Basically, this issue breaks the 
project_test3.py test, and I don't want to release M11 with braking 
regression test.

I can tweak the code mysef, but would rather know what was the issue with 
original code, so that I don't reintroduce that issue again.

Thanks,
Volodya
