Yes. This is an old behaviour of the Locator implementation. While 
integrating the precompiled bounds I slightly changed (fixed) the 
Locator implementation but I think this remained unchanged.
Anyhow I don't mind replacing this with a better implementation. If you 
post some better rules I might start implementing that.
If you want to have a look at the source code yourself check the Locator 
class.
