[Pacemaker] Utilization & resource stickiness strange behaviour - sorted resources

Hi all,
I am trying to set up a cluster of virtual machine hosts, and while
doing so, I came out with a very strange behaviour (I think it may be
a bug) and I hope you can lend me a hand in debugging this.
For testing the behaviour observed in my production environment, I set
up 2 new simple machines with no location/colocation/order
constraints, and changed the Xen resource agent with the dummy
resource agent, and the behaviour was the same.

The scenario is the following:
- The strategy is "utilization".
- 2 nodes: vmHost1 and vmHost2, with 2 cores each handle 5 resources:
DummyVM001-005, with resource-stickiness="INFINITY".

What happens is the following:
- If I start resources DummyVM001-004, everything is fine. 2 resources
run on each of the nodes
- Now, I start DummyVM005, but utilization is full, so it does not
start (cool :)
- Then , if I stop any of the running resources, everything goes
smoothly and DummyVM005 starts up. That's cool too.
* Here comes the strange part:
I have full utilization and resource stickines INFINITY, so starting
new resources shouldn't change anything in the cluster status BUT
If any of the freshly restarted resources is alphabetically sorted
before, the cluster stops the "last" resource alphabetically sorted
running  and starts the stopped one.
I don't think this is the expected behaviour, please correct me if I wrong.

Thank you kindly,
Agustin
