And this problem does not occur on 4.2.x?

I will try and take a look, but:
1)Although I have access to svn, I don't run 4.3.x myself
2)My access to svn is to maintain devmon-related bits
3)There is a reason 4.3.x is in beta.

As such I will not commit to fixing this, and Henrik hasn't been very active 
over the past few months.

If this does not occur on 4.2.x, and you don't require 4.3.x features, I would 
downgrade ...
