Right, that's a bug.

I think that's probably a record for how fast one of my comments  
comes back to bite me. :) I could argue that "hey, as long as it  
hasn't been documented changes don't count!" but honestly, the  
headers feature should be documented, fixed, and never changed again.

I'll do that. Expect a 0.7.4 sometime next week.
