Thanks for the quick and complete reply Ian. I already expected this but thought it would at least be useful to inform people here of the issue (and get it indexed for search engines).
I have no problems with it not being treated as a bug/regression.
I've now filed a bug report against upx: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2014835&group_id=2331&atid=102331
