closedNo candidate needles for current step of a running test(?)

Description
In Fedora we're still using openQA git circa July 8 - I will evaluate the changes since then, make appropriate adjustments to our stuff and bump to a newer git at some point, but now isn't a good time.
With that openQA, I seem to have a rather annoying problem with the needle editor. If I use it from a completed job - say, I go to a completed job, click on a failed needle match, and click 'Create new needle' - the editor, properly, has several candidate needles that appear in the 'Needle based on' and 'Copy areas from' drop-downs, letting me conveniently base the new needle on an old one.
But if I run a job in interactive mode to edit needles as I go along, it doesn't work. Whenever a needle match fails and I click the scissors, the editor loads and it knows what tag it was looking for, but it does not show any candidate needles. Which makes creating the new needle a pain in the ass.
I also note that if I just visit the URL for the current step while the needle editor is loaded and behaving badly, there are no entries in the 'Candidate needle:' dropdown.
I did try to figure this out myself and see if any of the later commits fixes it, but I just couldn't, I couldn't manage to figure out how and when the candidate needles are supposed to be populated. Could someone give me a pointer if this has been fixed with a later commit I can backport for now?
