Hello Viktor, from Changeset 5094 [1]: "[...] 'path' is [now] mandatory for the 'Local' PINs."
I think of it as a temporary solution to fix a weakness of "IAS ECC" cards as specified by The Gixel Group [2]. But keep in mind that the behaviour up to revision 4927 was conforming with PKCS#15 and ISO 7816-15. After your changes [3] that isn't the case any longer. As stated in another thread [4] it will break Java Cards and you should be prepared to move that hack into an emulator.
