Workaround usually suggests something temmporary for me.  As far as details
are concerned, after looking a bit closer into the code for "evaluate" it
seems like it is almost redundant:  The parameters you specifc after the
"evaluate" keyword only had a function if no max_gradient was set.
Consequently this would lead to the odd behavior that if and only if the
default max_gradient (which is 1.1) was used, max_gradient itself would be
adjusted.  Unfortunately, due to a logic mistake I kept one of these
modifications of max_gradient also it should have been removed.  I think I
have a fix for this already*.
