Yes, this has been observed...  The following bug may indicate an
earlier form of the problem.

   http://bugs.slony.info/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=46

We'd put off the issue pending the stabilizing of the matter in 8.4.
e.g. - if there are about to be *MORE* changes to this, there's no
point in fixing something that will just break again, particularly
when 8.4 isn't released.

Has the API stabilized?  If it has, then we should be in a position to
address the problem.  If not, then I'm inclined to wait a bit more...
