I mostly agree:

/me running Debian sid is supposed to hit this. I'm ok with it.

But given we know this is an issue now, we should not distribute this
further to Windows users/osgeo4w who are NOT running a testing setup.

More testing is always better. But for users/end-users it is pretty hard
to keep testing all functionality in all packages used. These bugs just
hit you when you use them.
