This has been broken just about forever (or more specifically, commit 7f4981f4af1700456f98ac3f2b2d84959919ec81) and nobody noticed until Richard Huxton reported it recently. Analysis and fix by Ross Reedstrom, although I didn't use his patch. This doesn't seem important enough to back-patch and is mildly backward incompatible, so I'm just doing this in master.
