I don't really know the routines for submitting patches or requesting inclusion of fixes from other branches, so I'd prefer if someone else could do it.
I should probably add that this is really a low-priority issue unless there are security implications. As far as I know, nobody is using the feature (neither PAPI nor Perfmon2). It seems like the Perfmon2 people wanted to use it [0] but but couldn't due to funny semantics. The same really goes for the use case I had in mind, even if this bug is fixed, the feature remains largely useless due to the problems outlined in [0].
