Someone else was trying to get this working as you wanted today, and  
was kind enough to submit a load of sets of env and request dumps and  
try out my suggestions.

There is now a patch in trunk[1] which should make things work like  
you expect in this case.

Can you have a go with that and see if it also does what you wanted?
