Then it isn't ignoring the second partial word at all, but expanding it
as it should.

I think you've just found cases where it happens that the partial word
doesn't affect the results (or at least the top N that you're seeing).
That the partial word is a prefix to the other word in the query in both
cases just seems to be a coincidence!
