Just to comment, I think the problem doesn't exist anymore..

When I was uploading a new version of my extension for 3.4, I noticed
that it was marked as supporting "3.4" and "3.4.1", and I'm running
"3.4.2" here. If the problem still existed, it would be saying to me
that my extension is not compatible.
