net-dependant services ONLY started with specific interface

Running Baselayout 1.12.0_pre16. I have both wlan and lan interfaces on my laptop. When I'm using wired connection (interface lan), everything works ok. If I use wlan and lan is disconnected, ntpd, sshd and netmount don't start up on boot. I get the error

WARNING: ntpd is scheduled to start when net.lan is started.

on boot. This is kind of odd, why is it singling out net.lan as a prequisite, and net.wlan is not ok?

I can manually say /etc/init.d/sshd start but why is there no automation?

I have

RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING="no"
and
RC_AUTO_INTERFACE="yes"

in my /etc/conf.d/rc.

Similar thing also happens if I, after booting up with LAN connected, remove the Ethernet cable and only AFTER that bring wlan up.

In my opinion the error should be

WARNING: ntpd is scheduled to start when either net.lan or net.wlan is started.

The reporter was even kind enough to supply a patch

Excellent.

(I need to get better at inventing bugzilla search terms...couldn't find this one, either).
