Ahh, come on. OK, so there was a report on such an issue, I was wrong.
However, it was indeed *two* years ago; in an email that received no
replies, and apparently was lost in the shuffle, so I don't really *feel*
wrong, to my memory it still does not exist (though I dug it out of the
online archives, you are of course right).
Besides, since then we rewrote the FSNode code to a large degree as part
of GSoC 2007, at which time we explicitly asked for input again and got
none.

So, no, I wouldn't call that a "known" issue :-).
