PBS and tunnels problem in TTDPatch r2293

Here's the setting: this train's destination is the station San Francisco (far left, only part of the name visible). Unfortunately it can't pass this signal, even if the signal is green. The problem is the combination of PBS and tunnel: if I remove the tunnels or I place a non-PBS signal the train can get to the station. In the second picture I placed a signal after the tunnel, so I can be sure that the length of the PBS block isn't a problem, but with no success.

I'm using TTDPatch 2.6 Alpha r2293.

UPDATE: After some testing on different maps and track/route configurations I found that this happens whenever there is a tunnel longer than the minimal tunnel length (2 tiles). Is this a known PBS limitation or this happens only to me?

Err what? "This person" being "Major" himself? He had that same problem one year before, but forgot his own solution/workaraound? :P

Or is that a different problem?

Yeah, that was me who posted one year ago. :D I didn' forget that I had this issue before, but I thought that it was solved with the new releases (a lot changed in one year). Seeing that it wasn't solved, I wanted to report the problem again, thinking it was forgotten.
