XA Transction unable to ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT

It appears it's not possible to restore to an savepoint within in a XA transaction

create table t1(

	c1 int

) engine=innodb;

XA START 'xa1';

SAVEPOINT savepoint1;

INSERT INTO t1 (c1) VALUES (1),(2),(3),(4);

ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT savepoint1;

this gives error:
Error Code: 1399. XAER_RMFAIL: The command cannot be executed when global transaction is in the ACTIVE state

When i try the exact same query in mysql (5.7), this produces no errors, also the transaction is restored to the actual savepoint.
When savepoints wouldn't be supported in XA transactions, i would expect the SAVEPOINT x would already result in an error.
