Failover is sometimes triggered on non-simple topologies

The failover-function is only supposed to be ran on 1-depth 1-master setups, and this is usually the case. Sometimes it seems, failover is attempted on more complicated topologies, possibly causing unintended effects. The details on when this happens are hazy, as it seems a bit random. The most reliable way of reproducing this bug with 3 servers A, B, C is:
1) Start MS with a normal master-slave replication (A-->BC), then shutdown A.
2) MS performs failover, one of the slaves (e.g. server B) is now the master.
3) Start A again. Manually (with sqlclient) set B to replicate from A, forming A->B->C
4) Wait for MS to detect it correctly, should show B as [Master, Relay Master, Slave, Stale Status, Running]
5) Shutdown B. MS will try to failover, but it will fail.
