Node content types do not show up in create page if that node type has an entity reference of type node

I was perplexed that a CCK node type didn't show up under "Edit components->Content types:node" at the page
/admin/structure/features/create

I think it may be because the node type had an entity field that referred to that same node type and it is getting
caught up by features.admin.inc line 105 where it does the unset

   if ($options) {
      // Find all default components that are not provided by this feature and
      // strip them out of the possible options.

      if ($map = features_get_default_map($component)) {
        foreach ($map as $k => $v) {
          if (isset($options[$k]) && (!isset($feature->name) || $v !== $feature->name)) {
            unset($options[$k]);
          }
        }
      }
...

since the node of type X has an entity reference also to nodes of type X it gets deleted from $options

To replicate
1. Create CCK node type
2. create Entity Reference (select list)
3. Have entity reference be of target type=Node
4. Go to /admin/structure/features/create
5. Select Edit components = "Content types: node"

Find CCK node type is not listed. Fields for that node type are not listed.

---------------

If I comment out the "unset" function then I get back the list of all CCK content types and all fields for that node type
