Airflow Tiles Don't Show Flooding

After playing for several hours today and decided to go with a base consisting of mostly airflow tiles (rip my copper quantities), I realized that any flooding on these tiles doesn't show up as anything. ie The Duplicant will throw up/make a mess, the liquid will leave them as it does, and proceed to 'melt' into the airflow tiles without appearing on the surface. I can still mop up this invisible liquid, and if a duplicant is walking over these tiles they get the 'soggy feet' effect, but I can't see any liquid sitting on the tiles. 

I realize a picture is preferred, if not necessary, for bug reports. Its my first forum and first post so I didn't know. Please accept the following image description in place of visual picture:

(theoretical) ID: Room with three medical beds, an out-of-order outhouse, and two mess tables. Two duplicants on the med-beds, one standing on yellow airflow tile (that allow gases through but not liquids). Standing duplicant is 'making a mess' and drops of liquid are seen outside duplicants body, but not on the surface of airflow tiles. [What follows is me m+9, drag over airflow tiles, mop icon appears and more duplicants arrive to mop up liquid that I can not see on the tiles. Duplicants have 'soggy feet' effect until all polluted water is mopped up]

Steps to Reproduce
-build medical room -go until day 120 when all duplicants are starving, stressed, and sick -wait for either stress-vomit or duplicant to make a mess
Go to bugs

Airflow tiles have a strangely "hydrophobic" quality to them. They function exactly as any other tile with liquids on them, but visually do not show the liquid sitting on them unless it's above a certain quantity. Here's a visual demonstration of this odd behavior, as you described.

As you can see, you can barely see that there is pH2O sitting on the airflow tiles, the threshold of visibility is around 2-300kg/tile. Anything below that and the only way to tell if there's liquid present is the greenish background color. With clean water on top of airflow tiles in an oxygen environment, it's nearly invisible.
