I'm not sure when the bug was introduced.  I do know that this has been
discussed before (within the past few months) in relation to Perl.  This bug is
also mentioned in the FAQ or Online Documentation.  I don't know how you are
successfully using B20, there were enough bugs to force me back to B19 when B20
originally released.
