I'm surprised nobody has noticed this before! That was not an intended
change. It seems natural to me that -Mg should imply a forced thaw, and
I will fix this in the next release.

Again, this isn't an intended change. The -M option should always
override all queuing options. I will fix this one too.
The process of "freezing" the code for the next release should start in
a couple of weeks. At that time testing code will be available.
Thanks for reporting these anomalies.
