The designer has been consulted on the last two expansions, and I think Paul Grogan can confirm that.
The complaint of the designer was that he had planned all interactions of the cards of the base game. Then when Lost Legion came out he wasn't involved in the development of the expansion, and so it came out with ambiguous wording, and leaving out grey areas like this. He was involved in the design of the expansion as he changed some monster tokens that he considered potentially unbalanced in certain situations.

There you go, people with firsthand information can give more accurate details of the development history than my "by all acounts" and "as I understand it", all of my information being secondhand at best.
Thank you, Nicola.
