Two more details. Firstly, I forgot to say the bug is with 1.2-RC1. :)

Secondly, I've compared with the source from 1.0.4, and etcpath() in that
version has this context_read() too. What appears to have changed is
context_read() itself, which means that the potential for this problem
has always been there, but didn't come out until recently.
