This is indeed an old bug, which I never had time to fix yet :^(
The proposed fix is OK. Another workaround is to surround
the matrix by \left. and \right. In general, this latter solution
has the advantage that it behaves well with respect to line breaks
(although this cannot be a problem in the case of matrices).
