You're right. I had just looked at the commit for the further fix:

https://lampsvn.epfl.ch/trac/scala/changeset/15634

Still, the main point stands since the additional case also included
example code. Note that I was not trying to play the blame game, I was
simply emphasizing how important it is to include tests when the user
provides one (or an example that can easily be converted into a test).
