Interaction between T0, T1, and M114

Interaction between T0, T1, and M114

I just installed a dual extruder on my TAZ 6 and was having a problem with the calibration print which led me to perform the following manual experiment.

(home, set absolute, auto-level etc.)
T0
G92 E0
T1
G92 E10
T0
M114 ;Show position of first extruder
T1
M114 ;Show position of second extruder

Since the description of M114 says "Get the current position of the active nozzle. Includes stepper values", I expected the first M114 to return E0 and the second M114 to return E10. Instead, both return E10.

I tried this with Marlin 1.0.2.22 and Marlin 1.1.5.19 (.22 and .19 are Lulzbot specific builds of 1.0.2 and 1.1.5 respectfully).

Since the test/calibration print works (in 1.0.2.22), I'm assuming that the Marlin firmware is properly maintaining the E values for each extruder internally. I just can't see it on the outside. Are there other commands I should be using?
