I talked to Jeff about this, and he says you're right. Furthermore he
says that this problem is typically caused by missing calls to
assemble_external(). We haven't noticed this yet because the
platforms we need don't need this functionality.
Where exactly you'd want to put the missing assemble_external() calls,
I don't know. I don't know the front end well enough to say with any
precision (and I don't have the time to dig around right now).
Would you like to investigate this?
If you can't, could you submit a PR?
