This is not intentional breakage, but it may be unavoidable breakage :-(

Snoop(4) is great functionality and I would have killed to have it
several times along my career, unfortunately its implementation is
a POS.

I'm currently pondering using bpf(4) for the task instead, but the
uneven layering of the tty layer has not offered me a clearcut place
to stick the code yet.
