That's probably the solution -- respect this preference.  I still need 
to think about this some more and dig out the original bug report (from 
some month ago).  My impression at the time was that we were just plain 
doing the wrong thing, but it sounds like that wasn't the case.  I agree 
that a change like this away from something that people want shouldn't 
happen in a point release (or at all, preferably).  I plan to issue 
another patch to address this, but probably not until tomorrow.

Downgrading to 3.2.9 is a work-around for now.

Thanks for the feedback,
