Cannot Apply Greater Essence if Item Contains Rune

You are currently unable to apply a Greater Essence to an item if you have a rune socketed in it. You can apply a Regal Orb to items with runes socketed. I believe this is a bug, and it'd be real nice if it was fixed since we cannot remove runes.

Bump to pray GGG sees this to patch this week.
I followed Jonathan's vision of picking up items and putting them on but now I can't improve them please fix I beg.
I continue to pray to my shrine of Krillson. May this be resolved soon.
On the path from 77-93 with a blue weapon please allow me to apply a greater essence thank you.
Surely one day GGG will recognize that Greater Essences = Regals, and why does one work when the other does not. Surely this is not intended right?
We're back post holiday break please GGG just fix this bug - Regal orbs work but not Greater Essences whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.
Surely one day this will get patched.
Hello. I return before 0.2.0 to once again pray to GGG. There is no way this is intended. You can Essence Normal items with runes, you can Regal Magic items with runes, but you cannot Greater Essence Magic items that contain runes.

I beg of you to fix this.
"Fixed a bug where Greater Essences could not be used on items with other items socketed in them."

My prayers have been answered.
