I'd naively expect that too.  Haven't tested it though.

That's *ancient*!  1.10.*5* is 2 1/2 years old.  Try upgrading to
the latest, 1.11.1p1.  Your problem may well be a bug that's been
fixed.  (If it still happens in 1.11.1p1 ... then will be the
time to start debating whether it's a bug or a feature :-)
