We have :) I agree that both methods MUST have the same behaviour, but
don't know which one. I don't like all this deep in core hidding of
the objects even they were marked as deleted, I think that it's too
restrictive and also force me to write patchs and bundle shredder with
them :P

Looks like I must look into shredder and check it for bugs related to
this code :(
