Oh, thank you for the catch! I was a bit afraid it might be the case, but when
I tried it in practice it didn't show up that many additional cases compare to
not having ?y=a at all (only 20 or so), and when I checked some, they looked
worth a manual check anyway and interesting. 

But I will fix the rule and send a new version!

Elena.
