Hi Richard,

 thanks for pointing that out. In fact that is a known PR (problem
 report) which is tracked with number 397439 and the fix for it is
 currently being included into 9.1.

 We found that out last month as soon as we got a Customer reporting
 a similar problem through a case opened with the Juniper Technical
 Assistance Center.

 If you happen to hit an issue or discover any misbehaviour in JunOS
 which hasnt been caught during our systesting prior the official release,
 please let us know and we can work on getting that fixed.

Thanks
Antonio
