I think the issue might be related to the apparent problem that 
preambles and postscripts do not appear to be included in the sources, 
but only stored in binary form. This seems badly broken to say the least 
- if the loader ever needs to fall back to source parsing, both 
preambles and postscripts would be completely ignored. I could see how 
that could cause problems along the way.
