This changed quite late in 3.6 development, probably as an unintended 
side effect of a different change.  Note that NG 3 was always considered 
as experimental (and still is) due to the regularities and the sad thing 
is we now have an incompatibility without fixing this problem.

I assume it might be possible to track down the relevant change and 
restore the previous behaviour (but don't take my word on this) but 
since 3.6 is now released this would just introduce additional 
confusion.  My suggestion would be not to use NG 3 at the moment.
