I think we might be tracking this one already but please do file it just in case; we can mark as duplicate if needed. Try this as an alternative:

a plain if/else should also behave as expected

Thanks. I know how to work around this.

I just post bugs in here to see if anyone else has seen it before and if it's being tracked.

while I fully agree that this is a bug, that code would be far easier to read as an if/else 🙂
