I have observed this behavior in our lab on 10.3-STABLE. So I have reported against it.
If you can bring in the change for 10.4R that will be great (lot of users stick to 10 based releases for their development). And in case, if customer faces this issue, I can point to this commit ☺.

BTW, I just noticed you reported this against 10.3R. Is there some reason (perhaps a customer with an issue) that you reported it there? I'm trying to decide if I need to MFC this change to 11.x and 10.x (the latter has some time urgency due to upcoming 10.4R release).

Greetings,
I've just committed r322872 which implements this, with a slightly tweaked comment.

Looks good to me.
