I'll look into that. The purple handling is pretty gross, because BB
and Hobbit do it very differently (Hobbit handles it inside the
daemon, in BB it's done by the webpage update task sending status 
updates).

If you click on one of these phantom purples to get the detailed
status page, is that one blue or purple ? Since no page-messages are
triggered, I suspect it's a problem with the way bbgen decides to
go purple (so I'd expect the detailed status to be blue).

I'd suggest waiting until Sunday - RC3 was pretty bad, so I'll send
out an RC4 patch during the week-end. Just to get everyone running the
same baseline after all the patches that have been flying around this
past week.
