We're waiting for a whole list of more important issues to be
backported to the 2.3 branch (there haven't been any backports or
point releases so far).

I really don't want to add another patch except for critical issues
(and that are likely to be applied to 2.3) at this point - so ... No.

Please pursuade upstream into backporting this.

You're misreading what the PTS says and what the actual case is.

Thanks.
