ObjectiveTracker-related taint

Hey!

So I've been messing w/ Blizzard_ObjectiveTracker for quite some time, but recently I discovered a bit weird issue. Here's how it happens.

At first I modify (a.k.a. taint) objective tracker's constant, for example, OBJECTIVE_TRACKER_UPDATE_ALL = 0xFFFFFFFF. I think that taint reaches world map frame, when QuestObjectiveTracker_UpdatePOIs is called from world map's QuestMapFrame_UpdateAll function.

But here's a weird part. It doesn't break either objective tracker, or world map itself, they work fine. However, it affects two frames, WorldMapFrame.UIElementsFrame.BountyBoard and WorldMapFrame.UIElementsFrame.ActionButton. So neither :Hide(), nor :SetPoint(), nor :ClearAllPoints() methods can be called in combat. I just get cold "An action was blocked in combat because of taint" warning.

Tweaking Blizzard_ObjectiveTracker was causing no problems before Legion pre-patch, but right now it's pretty much impossible cuz of described issue.

Was this change intended? TBH, it makes no sense.

Example of warning message.

Code:
8/20 16:49:10.879  An action was blocked in combat because of taint from ls_UI - <unnamed>:Hide()
8/20 16:49:10.879      Interface\FrameXML\WorldMapActionButton.lua:58 <unnamed>:Clear()
