Front page pattern overrides other pattern that has higher weight

I found weight can be set programmatically, and I set it to "-100", saved page title settings (it appeared on top) yet front page pattern is still taking precedence.

Any tips? :)

It seems like this code is taking precedence:

/**
 * Implements hook_page_title_pattern_alter().
 */
function page_title_page_title_pattern_alter(&$pattern, &$types) {
  // If frontpage, then use the frontpage pattern and set the title.
  if (drupal_is_front_page()) {
    // Get the frontpage pattern
    $settings = page_title_get_settings();
    $pattern = variable_get('page_title_front', $settings['page_title_front']['default']);
  }
}

Would you accept a patch which checks for pattern weight, and if there is one higher than the front page, and it is global, it will use that?
