Next button does not work for Deezer

Usually the Next button (>>) on the remote skips to the next song during playback. This is not only true for music from the local library but also e.g. when playing songs from lastfm. But when playing songs from Deezer the Next button on the remote does not work (is does nothing). However, pressing the PLAY button does skip to the next song in Deezer (which is not expected and is in contrast to the function of the PLAY button for the local library and lastfm). Even worse, when using the controller neither pressing the Next nor the PLAY button allows skipping to the next song when playing songs from Deezer. The only workaround to skip to the next song is to press PAUSE and then press PAUSE again (which will first stop playing and then start playing a new song).
Deezer does not allow skipping tracks. It's a business limitation.
But why does then pressing PLAY on the normal remote does skip but pressing PLAY on the controller does not?
