Comment (by strk):

 Hi Zez, do you think you could also help with automating
 a test to secure this bugfix ? The run_test.pl script does
 have support for testing options passed to the loader&dumper
 roundtrip and a test exists checking it (possibly not
 exhaustive to include this case).

 You can run the test with:

     cd regress
     make staged-install
     cd loader
     ../run_test.pl -v mfile

 The test will apply switches in mfile.opts which happens
 to pass -m mfile_mapping.txt having the following mapping:

     address add
     short_name short

 If I understand you correctly it would be enough to just
 add a mapping with a different beginning ?
