Applying a redstone upgrade to a drawer, the drawer only outputs a redstone value if the item count is higher than 1 [i.e. 2 or above]

This limits some very useful automation possibilities; It is also a different behaviour to the default minecraft comparator behaviour - a single item in a chest with a comparator outputs a value of 1, a comparator from a drawer outputs a value of 0 unless there are at least two items in the drawer.

Can this be fixed?

Thank you.
