I am not sure.  I think the related change is ChangeLog entry 379 
(ticket #1649).

You attempted:

And that didn't work but stayed in your local configuration changes.

"config diff" should show it.  "config revert" should reset all your 
local changes.

It is not very intuitive. It doesn't really let you know what worked and 
what additional parts (if any) didn't work (on a commit).

I think we need debugging added to 
src/lib/python/isc/notify/notify_out.py (for send_notify).
