BUG: Diagram cleanup in 2016 can produce broken wires

Just started using LabVIEW 2016 and discovered a BUG:

 

The diagram cleanup function can take a perfectly working diagram and produce broken wires in it...

 

Here is a messy VI before clean-up:

Messy, but runnable....Now let's hit the clean-up button:

after cleanup.PNG

What happened, where did the broken wires come from?

 

I tried reproducing this in a simpler VI, but the error disappears...so I have attached the original VI here too. Does it repair OK on your machine, or do you see the same bug?

From looking at the block diagram picture, I'm guessing they aren't really "broken" so much as they have "loose ends".  Still, I'd be very afraid to do a <ctrl+b> to clean them up.

 

Definitely a BUG and very likely related to this thread.
