 This has been discussed on the e-mail lists (sql) this month several times.
Tom also mentioned the reason for that. If I remember correctly:

 The having construct in sub-selects are not interpreted correctly and may
not return the result one hope should be the result.

 select * from TABLE-A
   where AO IN
     (select AO from TABLE-B where ... group by AO having 2<count(*))

 Statements like these do NOT work.

 They mean: return all rows from table-a if you have at least two rows
on table-b having the identical AO value.
