You're right, this is a change of behavior. As far as I can tell this 
was intentional and I think the original behavior was rather weird. 
However there's something about a second patch in the original post, 
which I will follow up on.

In the meantime I have opened an issue in the TCA reference tracker in 
order not to forget to update the description:
