bootFeatures sometimes being ignored

According to the documentation, the maven-karaf-plugin will install features listed in the installedFeatures in the "system" internal repository. Features listed in bootFeatures are additionally added to the boot-features in the features service configuration file.

Hence, the configuration options do not conflict and a configuration like this should result in the features being installed and added to the boot-features configuration:

<configuration>
  <bootFeatures>
    <feature>foo</feature>
  </bootFeatures>
  <installedFeatures>
    <feature>foo</feature>
  </installedFeatures>
</configuration>

In fact, the configuration should be equivalent to foo being listed just as a bootFeature.

But what actually happens is that the installedFeature will overwrite the bootFeature and the feature is not added to the boot-features configuration.
