This scares the hell out of me.

I do NOT think we should be making quick-hack changes in fundamental
system semantics at this point of the release cycle.

The problem went unnoticed for two full release cycles --- therefore,
it can wait another cycle for a fix that has been considered, reviewed,
and tested.  Let's not risk making things worse by releasing a new
behavior we might find out is also wrong.
