I don't quite agree with you. Indeed it's semantically wrong, yet I think we leave it to behave as in ZE1, in terms of backwards compatibility.
I don't think we must make compatibility for bugs.
Users don't consider a certain behaviour that lasts for years the way we do to be a bug, even if it is inconsistent and rationally wrong, since they often got used to it and supposedly developed some workaround for it while we can rarely predict how they code with it and cope with it. Thus we should think of what the word "backwards compatibility" does actually mean. Moriyoshi
