Hi,
since I'm the one who broke the functionality, I took a look at the
patch (looks good!) and ran a very simple test, which passed.
Sorry about the breakage, we don't use this functionality and I'm afraid
I didn't test it.
The second patch has my +1. I haven't tested the first one, but it looks
good to me as well..
