Cancelling downvote didn't cancel Critic badge

Possible Duplicate:
Is the Critic badge badge awarded prematurely

I currently have the Critic badge, but no downvotes. I was immediately awarded the badge upon clicking the down arrow, even though I canceled before the downvote was made permanent.

Expected behavior: The badge should be awarded when the downvote becomes un-undoable, not before.

The related question is tagged "by design" but this behavior has resulted in an inconsistent state — namely, I have a badge without the prereqs.
