Marcelo posted a 2.4 prerelease that included fixes for it, so I
presume it's okay to mention publicly. I think it's slated for 2.6.8 on
the 2.6 side. I'd say to try to piggyback it atop the 2.6.8 release
unless that doesn't make sense for some other reason or it looks like
it's going to take longer than your patience will last.

I guess as long as things are on track wrt. merging it's fine, but I'll
defer to hch in general as he seems to have a better handle on this. I'm
still interested in getting a look for myself but am rather pressed for
time, so if you could send the patches to me in a private reply I'd be
much obliged.
