Thanks. This is actually messier than it should be. A bad mentors build
host + some misunderstandings between me and Gianfranco boiled down to
that although the changelog in the -6 release mentions your patch it
was actually not included.
Anyway, a new -7 update is already under way, this time With Patch
Included (tm)

Makes sense. And for me as upstream I have the overall feeling that
compiling on other architectures sometimes reveals otherwise unnoticed
bugs. So, thanks for your input.
I have also patched upstream according to
https://paste.fedoraproject.org/520046/83574167, more or less your
patch. Actually, it is your patch, it's your name on it :)
Cheers!
