Selenium IDE (Chrome 3.4.4) store text fails if there is no value

🐛 Bug Report

Using Store Text command in selenium IDE (Chrome v3.4.4), if there is a value it correctly stores the value, if there is no value then it fails to find the element.

To Reproduce

I'm trying to store the phone number of a customer (its not guaranteed to be there). Html is like

If there is no text:

Tel No

Command: store text
target: xpath=//tr[td='Tel No']/td[2]/span
value: custTel
This fails with the error: Failed: Implicit Wait timed out after 30000ms

I would expect this to succeed and store an empty string.

As if there is text:

Tel No 07770 123456

Command: store text
target: xpath=//tr[td='Tel No']/td[2]/span
value: custTel
This stores the value correctly.

I logged this on stack overflow and someone has confirmed this is a chrome bug as it works in kantu.
