I'm surprised.  Why would it break PublishPDF?

Also, given that it will likely cause problems for PublishPDF,
I'll definitively provide a "preserve 2.1.11 behavior" option
for this in the transitions.php module.  The PublishPDF recipe 
can set 

    $Transition['nodivnest'] = 1;

to preserve the old non-nesting behavior until things can 
be worked out.
