[Bacula-users] RunsOnFailure doesn't seem to work

For one of the servers my main Bacula installation is backing up,
a mail server running Cyrus IMAPD, I have this job definition:

Job {
  Name = "posthamster"
  Client = posthamster-fd
  JobDefs = "DefaultJob"
  Schedule = "WeeklyCycleLate"
  RunScript {
    RunsOnClient = yes
    RunsWhen = Before
    FailJobOnError = yes
    Command = "/root/bin/prebackup"
  }
  RunScript {
    RunsOnClient = yes
    RunsWhen = After
    RunsOnSuccess = yes
    RunsOnFailure = yes
    Command = "/root/bin/postbackup"
  }
  FileSet = "posthamster"
  Priority = 15                   # run separately
}

The prebackup script stops the IMAP service for consistent backup,
and the postbackup script starts it again, so I really, REALLY want
the postbackup scrupt to run even if something went wrong with the
backup. After all, there's no sense in blocking my users' mail
access just because the last backup didn't complete successfully.
More importantly, this is the very same mail server that handles
the mails produced by Bacula, so blocking it in case of a backup
problem is quite counterproductive.

However, last night's backup run completed thusly:

And, sure enough, the IMAP service was subsequently down, preventing
me from receiving that report. Exactly what I wanted to avoid.

Did I do something wrong or is that a bug?
