Events.list: singleEvents Setting not Respected for freeBusyReader calendar

Question

I noticed today that when calling Events.list with singleEvents explicitly set to false with an account with freeBusyReader credentials doesn't return recurring events according to the singleEvents parameter provided. Namely, recurring events are expanded to instance events regardless of the option. This is surprising to me for two reasons:

1) When fetching the master event directly with Events.get, the master event is visible to the freeBusyReader account with the recurrence rule displayed.

2) We haven't noticed this behavior until today.

Wanted to see if anyone had experience with this -- is this a regression/bug or is the documentation here just lacking?
