Done.

Done. Just polished the one I had lying around.

 From what I could glance with my rather inferior Haskell experience,
it seems that annotate does interact with paths differently then the
other commands.

To answer your question: I just spend 2 hours trying to fix it, but
I am willing to spend some more. Some pointers would be appreciated,
though, especially tips on how to debug this.

I would also be interested in producing a fix for Issue 1089[1], as I
find it highly annoying. Pointers would be nice as well ;).
