There is a big merge planned for right after version 1.4.0 is
released, so we haven't put too much effort into making mixed branches
play well ... in fact, we never have, instead deferring to the merge
point for that sort of fixup.

That seems like a strange thing to lose, but I wouldn't doubt anything.

There's a chance that the Z-stuff in particular might make it into 1.4
(Dan has mentioned it as well), but probably not 1.4.0, unless we had
a volunteer to work on the dojo admin interface work for that ...
*winkwink*  Given that, it would have a much better chance.  We'll
have to blame the incorrectly shaped tuits for now.

Jason?  This smells like your recent issue ... maybe this is already
fixed in trunk?
