Bug or wrong syntax? Partitioning tables with primary keys AND unique indexes (err: #1482)

I'm attempting to partition a table by primary key. This table also contains a unique index which is seperate from the primary key as well.

When attempting to partition, I get the following error:

-------
ALTER TABLE urls PARTITION BY RANGE(id)(
PARTITION p0 VALUES LESS THAN( 200000 )
...
)

ERROR:
#1481 - A UNIQUE INDEX need to include all fields in the partition function
--------

However, if I convert the unique index to regular index, I can partition the table just fine.

Attempting to convert the index back to unique results in the following error:

ALTER TABLE `urls` DROP INDEX `hash` ,
ADD UNIQUE `hash` ( `canon` ( 24 ) , `path` ( 24 ) )

MySQL said: Documentation
#1481 - A UNIQUE INDEX need to include all fields in the partition function

How do I partition a table by a primary key and still make it have a unique index as well?
