1.7.2.147: Magic wand tool not working

[IPv6]

In latest beta Magic wand for the layer under the topmost one is totally broken - sometimes it always select "empty areas" (regardless of color under cursor - on screenshot i clicked inside yellow blob and get selection OUTSIDE of it!). Sometimes select nothing at all, even on high tolerance. This is with "Current layer" option enabled

Selecting "All layers" helps - but for isolated editing (alt-enter layer) this option is not usable at all, since wand select areas including invisible areas, ignoring current isolation (isolated layer)

Try changing your tolerance. It is at 20%

Does not help // Plus, it`s a blob of the same color, you can check attached file.
This blob should be selectable even on 0 tolerance (without semitransparent edges), i suppose

Magic wand in 1.7.1 selects it even on zero tolerance - working normally
