Keywords bug?

I may have found a bug with the keywords implementation -- or else I'm just confused about how it's supposed to work.
I use keywords to indicate people -- so I might have a keyword "john smith" if John is in the picture. In many cases, I have pictures with keywords:
"john smith" "jane smith"
smugmug seems to be going through (some of?) these pictures and deleting duplicate keywords so it ends up being:
"john smith" "jane "
or something. I assume what it SHOULD be doing is deleting duplicate keywords but respecting the quote marks, which apparently isn't happening.
As a result, (1) my keywords are getting corrupted, and (2) i'm getting keywords other than what I'm intending on the /keywords page.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I expanded the help page on keywords last night to show how they're supposed to work:

I can see upon re-reading that I didn't do a scenario for double quotes like you had, and the leading numbers sentence is a bit unclear.
One thing you may be seeing is it's only 2/3 of the way through indexing.

that picture's keywords started out as
"pat shapiro" "alain shapiro"
but now it says --
"pat shapiro" "alain
I can't seem to reproduce this bug. I added multiple quoted keywords to this photo: http://onethumb.smugmug.com/keyword/van%20halen
And they all stuck properly.
I then re-added "alain shapiro" to yours, and it also stuck.
It's possible that you caught a side-effect of our indexing process, which should be a one-time event. If so, I apologize. I'll take a closer look and see if maybe that's what it was.
If you're able to duplicate it again, please let me know.
Thanks!
