Batch edit (with L) edited multiple unselected tasks

I've seen this twice now in the Web Interface, and this second time it just cost me half an hour to undo the broken edits.
I haven't found out the pre-conditions to make it happen, unfortunately, and can't risk triggering it again... But it's serious enough that I'm reporting it without a full repro.
Using 'L' to select tasks, I selected about 4 tasks. None were sub-tasks, as far as I could tell.
I changed the start-date to 29 June, and when the screen was refreshed after applying the edit, I found that dozens of other un-selected tasks had had their start-date changed.
(I do understand that 'L' selects all sub-tasks in a task - but lots of unrelated tasks were changed, so I am confident it is not solely due to selection of related sub-tasks)
I'd backed up the tasks earlier today, but changed lots of other things since - so it was a very tedious task to use a programming differencing tool to identify all the incorrectly changed tasks, and manually revert back their start dates.
