Disabling line layer editing without finishing line leaves a ghost line object (even in new projects!)

Description

Steps to reproduce:
1) Add a vector line layer (shapefile);
2) Enable editing;
3) Start to draw a line;
4) Disable editing;
Unfinished line is still here
5) Click on "New Project";
Unfinished line is still here
6) Add a new, different vector line layer;
Unfinished line is still here
7) Enable editing;
8) Start to digitize a new line
QGIS continues to digitize old "ghost" line from previous project! Or should it be called "zombie" line, as it can not be killed?

Tested on 1.7.0 and trunk (or how it's called now?) on ~AMD64 Gentoo.
