Moving reconciled transactions

What is the correct behavior when moving a reconciled transaction to
another account?  Clear the reconciled flag, or leave it reconciled.  I
believe it should be the former, but I have a bug report suggesting that
it should be the latter behavior.  The behavior of gnucash is
inconsistent.  Moving a transaction via cut/paste clears the
reconciliation flag; moving by changing the transfer account from a
register window preserves the flag.

If an account has been reconciled then it must have been reconciled
against something.  A bank statement, a credit card statement, a
paycheck stub, a budget... something.  If a transaction is later moved
out of that account, by definition it can no longer be considered
reconciled.  Am I off base here?
