I'd say this is a bug rather than a suggestion, isn't it? They changed a mechanic but neglected to think through all the consequences so, to me, this counts as a bug in the change to the coalition rules.
I can't post in the bug report forums right now anyway, but what has/has not been considered "intended/bug" has been non-obvious multiple times. As it's a change regardless, it can fit here too.
