I believe this is already handled in my patch as recirculation
is triggered in xlate_table_action().
As part of the incremental patch below I have included a test
to exercise this.

Thanks, I missed that one. I think that the best thing to do at
this time is to trigger recirculation for select groups - other groups
don't access fields as you describe and should already be handled correctly.
The incremental patch below updates the code to do this as
well as providing a test to exercise this case.
