It appeared to be dropping through multiple case statements.
This highlights why it's important for people to actually test pre-release versions when the announcements go out.
This is a serious bug. One can always apply a patch to 2.2.1 but then it always becomes an ambiguous question, are you running the broken 2.2.1 or the patched 2.2.1? That makes version information very difficult to manage and confuses people who want to download and build 2.2.1, they'll have to know they have to patch it before building and then track the patch information. The best solution is to spin a new release with the fix and bump the version. Yeah that kinda sucks but there really isn't a better solution when problems like this come up.
