yscale not working

Why is there no effect of the yscale parameter in \externalfigure when the width-parameter is given? In the MWE it is the intention to stretch the height of the figure by a factor of two. But nothing happens. Leaving out the width does stretch the height, but then it becomes too wide.

\type{\externalfigure[test][width=0.50\textwidth,yscale=2000]}\crlf
\externalfigure[test][width=0.50\textwidth,yscale=2000]

Not all scaling and sizing combinations can be used at the same time.

To get both effects you can use \scale to stretch the figure to the 
desired height.

\scale[sy=2]{\externalfigure[...][width=.5\textwidth]}
