py:strip in a py:if produces different output depending on tag's contents

[felix.schwarz@…]

py:strip behaves inconsistently when used in a py:if "tag". The behavior depends on if a Genshi variable is accessed in the tag's contents.

<py:if test="True" py:strip="">
    var x = 'bar';
</py:if>

-> This produces no output.

<py:if test="True" py:strip="">
    var x = '$d';
</py:if>

-> This will output the variable's contents only ("var x = ..." is stripped).

Using py:if together with py:strip is stupid and probably always a programmer error but I expected that the final output would always be the same regardless of the tag's contents.
