I'm seeing multi-fields of type boolean silently being reduced to a normal boolean field in 1.2.1 which wasn't the behavior in 0.90.9. See [https://gist.github.com/Omega359/0c2a93690b4db30693a1](https://gist.github.com/Omega359/0c2a93690b4db30693a1) for an example of this. Is this expected? To me it seems like it should work - the boolean field mapper seems to be calling out to multiFieldsBuilder - but I'm not versed enough in the internals of ES to know where if at all it's broken.
