Passing additional forwarding requests from multiplexing slaves through to 
the master has not been implemented yet, but I plan to soon. IIRC someone 
posted patches to this list or bugzilla, but they needed a little more 
work.

It is uncertain whether this will be in the 4.3 release, more likely to be 
the 4.4 timeframe (~6 months). There will be patches available on this 
list or in bugzilla beforehand though if you would like to test.
