The upstream commits referenced in the bug report contain two changes - the one you've included in your patch, and 4f46c293, which applies (assuming the function name is accurate) to privmsgs and notices. Does the later patch render the earlier one unnecessary, or should both be included? The commit message for 4f46c293 implies that it was intended as a security fix.
