Hmm.  Right.  I agree that it would be better to not break that case.
And it means that there is a gap in the regression tests here, so I'd
like to add a test.  Please see the attached to achieve that, which
includes your own code changes and the doc parts (I didn't see a point
in changing the new sentence for temporary relations as the follow-up
<para> mentions that).
