Hi Raphael, Thank you for your report - I can confirm your finding and agree that it would be nicer to either work or be better documented.
The change introducing it was first in v6.0.0 and thereby Impish and later are affected (I updated the bug tasks to reflect hat). This case isn't Ubuntu only and IMHO not severe enough to add patches on top of just our builds. The best path forward I'd think is to report the very same upstream [1] and report the opened issue here. We can then track an upstream fix to this and apply it to Ubuntu as well from there.
