Right, thank you for the report!
I was too busy to send myself a fix (I realized about the issue).
But what I think about this the actual platform code has to be balanced with
this. I dunno why we have OF code do one part and the platform core do the
other. It's not obvious and prone to mistakes (like I made).

Let me look to this closer.
