Other Patient IDs of existing Patient does not get supplemented with additional Patient IDs in received DICOM object or HL7 message

E.g.:

$ storescu -cDCM4CHEE@localhost:11112 \
  -sPatientID=pid1 -sIssuerOfPatientID=issuerA \
  -sOtherPatientIDsSequence.PatientID=pid12 \
  -sOtherPatientIDsSequence.IssuerOfPatientID=issuerB \
  -- image1.dcm
...

$ storescu -cDCM4CHEE@localhost:11112 \
  -sPatientID=pid2 -sIssuerOfPatientID=issuerA \
  -sOtherPatientIDsSequence.PatientID=pid12 -sOtherPatientIDsSequence.IssuerOfPatientID=issuerB \
  -- image2.dcm
...

results in

$ findscu -cDCM4CHEE@gunter-nb:11112 -LPATIENT -MPatientRoot \
  -mPatientID=pid1 -mIssuerOfPatientID=issuerA -rOtherPatientIDsSequence
...
