Thanks, fixed in r33178, please test!
 
Note: the short will be reported exactly twice, and that's intentional: it 
is found from both nets point-of-view (that's why the red-blue highlight 
swaps between the two reports). In extreme cases, with more complicated 
drc rules you may find an asymmetric case, e.g. a high voltage network 
requires a 4mm clearance, but plain signals require only 0.2mm, and you 
have 3mm - that way only the high voltage net would flag this as a 
violation.
