A friend of mine just demonstrated this on his system, but we were 
running a very old version of -fixes at the time.  I upgraded our 
systems this week and asked him to let me know if he's still seeing the 
issue so I could fix it.  I'll take your question as confirmation that 
it still exists.

I'll take a look at it.  It's quite likely I'm going to switch my dev 
box over to -fixes to do some unrelated work, today, so I can work on 
the watched flag stuff at the same time.
