Hi Nicola Thanks for reporting this bug. This certainly sounds like a regression, which wouldn't be that surprising given the large set of changes between 2.5.1 and 2.5.2.
Please report this as a bug upstream. I would expect this to not be an intentional change within a minor version. If a patch is proposed upstream it can be applied.
