I removed the capability to start at shutdown checkpoints because you
said it would cause this bug. That gives two choices: fix the bug,
remove the feature. I don't think it is a priority to support that
feature, so I removed it in favour of other work.
I will work on issues in priority order and this was already on the list
and remains so. I don't have endless time, so realistically, given its
current priority it is unlikely to be addressed in this release.
