[Developers] Cursor:false isn't returned as expected

[Will Moffat]

Hi,

Can somebody shed light on this? According to the MQL API doc, you
should pass a cursor until the cursor in the response is false:
http://www.freebase.com/view/9202a8c04000641f800000000544e139#cursors

I expect result 1 to return cursor:false (since there are only 6
matches) but since it returns a cursor I make another query. This
seems to return corrupt results. (Will Moffat is included twice)
Only result 3 has cursor set to false.

Is this a bug?
