The observation was missing when the taint was introduced with new_direct or new_indirect operators. Although known for a long time, this behavior was considered more as a feature rather than a bug. We finally decided to rectify it and post the observation when a new taint is introduced to make the behavior match with the semantics described in the low-level terms. It also makes it much easier to debug taint-related issues.
