Is this a recent regression?  (e.g., from bug 457800?)

Patch in bug 549132 will fix this issue.

Bug 549132 landed, so this should also be fixed, but we need someone to verify that it is actually fixed with a build containing that patch.

Also, this bug needs its own test to make sure things don't regress in the future.

Yep, it seems to be fixed now in the latest hourly.
