I think it's just a case of too many possible combinations of features
to test that some inevitably get overlooked.  Combinatorial explosion.
But once bug reports like these are filed and fixed, more unittests will
be added, which increase the surface area of tested feature combinations
and (hopefully) reduce the likelihood of similar bugs.
