That was *my* first thought, but obviously that's not what I'm seeing. 
I'd be curious if anyone *does* know what's happening, because I can't 
figure it out (not without digging in the code, at least). :-)

That was the *other* reason I just said it here ;-). Oh... ok, and it 
took a while to actually find the change (in 2.511). Thanks (again) Brian.

And thanks for the pointer, I'll try to remember that. :-)
