Re-spawning error when carrying an extra bed in inventory

Re-spawning at the home bed in has stopped functioning if I travel with a bed. I used to travel with a bed in the inventory and use it at a number of places I've set up as waypoints then I destroy it (and pick it back up into inventory). Before this, if I died while carrying it, I would still respawn at my "home" location where I have a permanent bed. Now, the last two times I've died (due to boat-related bugs), I get the "your home bed was missing or obstructed" and respawn at the central spawn point. Fortunately that's only a few minutes away from my existing home bed but it was nice to be able to use beds that way. Having a bed at each waypoint would leave me at my last-slept-at remote location with no available inventory if I die and would be too-much like starting over completely before working my way back to my "home."
