OK. So I think this behaviour makes those fields inconsistent with all 
the others in terms of their behaviour.

In the case of other fields, such as component, platform, op_sys, or 
custom fields, fieldname=Sproink will not match anything. In the case of 
these fields for which you have changed the behaviour, status=Sproink 
will match everything, including things whose status is not Sproink.

I think the inconsistency is bad, and that the former behaviour is the 
preferable one for all fields. Would it be possible to restore it 
without removing the optimization added in the above bug?
