Even more critical, this behavioural change won’t only affect Qt modules, but 
also a lot of customer code, which cannot be fixed by us.
Which makes me wonder if such a be a change between 5.2 and 5.3 is acceptable 
at all. Was it intentional or an unintended side-effect? I can’t find any 
discussion about the issue.

That inconsistency makes it even more confusing to me.
