'Your %post was created.', $msg gets lost

During simpletest test case updating I discovered a change in the behaviour when creating new nodes. The status message: "Your page was created." simply gets lost. A view on the node_form_execute function reveals that $msg is set but not used.
I doubt this behaviour is intentional.

Simply adding:

drupal_set_message($msg);

Gets back the message.

The change was done by the patch for the new forms api. [1]

Any comments on this? If I am right with this I'd be pleased to roll out a patch.
