can't reverse a way added to relation with no role

[kaitu]

When I add a way to a relation, leaving the role field blank, and then try to reverse that way, I get a 'Unexpected Exception error'. When I close the 'Unexpected Exception error' window, the way has not been reversed.

After uploading the changes to server, I still get the same error.

If I start a new layer and download the data, then I can revert the way in the new layer. I still cannot revert the way in the same layer in which I added the way to the relation.

The error doesn't occur if, in the relation editor, I write something in the 'role' field of the way and apply the changes.

Possible workaround (while the bug gets fixed) when the role must intentionally remain blank:
1)write some text in the role field
2)apply changes and close relation editor
3)edit the relation and delete the text from the role field
4)now the way can be reversed
