Michael, I'm not sure what the root of the problem is that you're having (perhaps Sean Paus may be able to give you more definitive an answer), but I can say that the reference to islands is cruft that shouldn't be there. Could you give us a single replicable setup that causes the problem? The OS being used would also be helpful. I'll see if I can nail it down (though not today or tomorrow probably).
