As far as I understand this deficient behavior is a direct result of the
previous patch. In essnse previous patch fixes something and introduces
new problem which is subsequently fixed by this patch. The way I see it
if both patches are squashed the change log should be :
"I do [explanation of the first change]. However this introduces
[explain bug from patch 2] so fix it by [explain fix from 2nd patch]"
