I'm afraid you get to build SVN HEAD or 1.42, then. With SVN HEAD, your testcase produces this 
output:

***List of commands detected:
Command[0]: firstCommand
Command[1]: secondCommand

First command detected
List of parameters passed: arg1, arg2, arg3,

Second command detected
List of parameters passed: arg1, arg2, arg3,
