Hmm, probably cc @spicyj @jimfb too. Is this related to the new renderer or value-logic perhaps?

I can dbl check though I don't think its event plugin related as this case is something i've tested and specifically tried to address :P I could have missed a case I suppose.

@jquense Me neither, but thought you'd might be interested :)
