I've already submitted a patch to fix this.

However the comment at the top is rather vague (along the 'hmmn, seems
to have broken' category), if you guys decide that ' A ' is the
right-thing-to-do then I'll change this comment into something more
concrete (otherwise at some point we're sure to regress support for
older monotones).

PS Were any of the breakages, except this one, after 0.23? IIRC that was
the first version I targeted with meld.
