AFAIK, it's always a miss. There's a bug report somewhere where Kenji
explained exactly why it works the way that it does, but I don't recall what
he said. I also don't know if it was closed as "won't fix" or remember much
that would make it easy to find, unfortunately. :|

But there is a technical reason for the limitation, even if I don't remember
what it is.
