Jens, I think you missed the point on my fix:

1. It has tests, which you plain broke!
2. It helps the user not to commit an error that would cause lots of
   pain. Someone just spent 5 hours trying to understand why a field
   would not be saved.
3. It was never a intended feature to start with, and I can't see a
   case where someone would use it except for a real copy-and-paste
   error or a typo.

So, by all means it's a bugfix. If you don't agree with that, at least
fix the tests. Shame on you for making the rules and not living by them.
