Assuming I understand the proposal properly, this sounds to me like it

This was a bug and has been fixed recently. I cannot recall if the fix
has been backported all the way up to 4.0.
Which fix are you thinking of here? My previous one for rejecting
implicit conversions between vector types between differing numbers
of subparts hasn't been submitted as a patch yet, but has pretty much
been approved in principle.
