Now that commit a4adc31 has had some time to bake and concerns about unintended consequences may have abated, I wanted to revive this back-patching discussion. I see a few possibly-related reports [0] [1] [2], and I'm now seeing this in the field, too. While it is debatable whether this is a bug, it's a quite nasty issue for users, and it's both difficult to detect and difficult to work around. Thoughts?
