Comment (by arma):

 I believe the current code "works" in that it never generates any extra
 consensus fetches. So the functionality intended from #4483 is not present
 in 0.2.8.

 I am not sure whether we will want to fix this in 0.2.8 -- I think
 implementing #4483 will be quite some lines of diff.

 But I'm going to figure that one out later. In the mean time I'm
 accumulating patches on my bug18809 branch.
