[regression] "show if unread" no more available for "Nested Labels"

[soig]

At first, when intrudced, the "show if unread" was great.

After some times however, its behavior changed when using "Nested
Labels".
Now it's not possible to set "show if unread" for nested labels
anymore.
Either one of the sub labels have unread messages and the whole label
"group" (aka the parent label and all its children labels) are
displayed
or there's no unread message in any of the label group and the whole
group is displayed.

The regression was introduced since the "show/hide/show if unread/"
choice is only available for top/parent labels whereas it was
available for nested labels too before.
(in https://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&shva=1#settings/labels)

It would be nice to restore the initial behavior of "show if unread"
when using "Nested Labels". ie, when enabled,

InBox (2)
Computer
Linux (3)
Windows
Macintosh
Friend
Family
Mom (1)
Brother

would be displayed as:

InBox (2)
Computer
Linux (3)
Family
Mom (1)

See you

I completely agree. I believe that when "Nested Labels" was a GMail
Lab, it worked flawlessly with the show-if-unread feature (which I
think was originally a lab too). It seems like now that "Nested
Labels" is a standard GMail feature, it has stopped working with show-
if-unread.

It doesn't make sense as to why this behavior would be a feature.
Moreover, it doesn't make sense why it should be a problem because it
used to work great.

So now I go from expanding a top label to seeing only my unread
folders to expanding a top label to seeing all of my labels (which is
really annoying for my per-person labels).
