I found this issue just the other day while researching why we were getting false gaps in our test coverage reports (using Ned's coverage module, natch!). I agree that this seems like a fairly minor nuisance, but it's a nuisance that anybody who has tests and measures test coverage will run into sooner or later -- and that's *everybody*, right?
I think some kind of fix ought to be discussed. After all, "it should be possible to have accurate coverage results" is a proposition that seems fairly reasonable to me.
