 Denis: This was written before your reply:

 6801.005.diff is the latest patch based off the current trunk.

 I looked into is_front_page, and it returns true if show_on_front is
 'posts' and is_home is true.  However, that seems a little redundant
 unless some plugin is messing with it, because in query.php starting at
 line 1460 is_home is set to false if show_on_front == 'page'

 The patch adds a check for is_front_page AFTER the is_home check.  This
 means that if the blog page is the front page it checks for home.php ->
 custom template -> front-page.php -> page.php -> index.php.  If the front
 page is a static page, it checks custom template -> front-page.php ->
 page.php -> index.php.

 I think that makes sense.
