This is BZ #205020.  I'm cc'ing Jeff Garzik (the maintainer) and Jeremy
in the hopes that one of them (in his copious spare time) :-)  can
answer whether if and when this will get a fix.  I'm guessing it won't
in FC6 until post-release, given that it's not a release blocker and the
freeze is on.  Maybe an FC5 bugfix to tide the reporter(s) over until a
post-final FC6 update?
