Apologies for the delay in getting back to you on this. I'd flagged it
for further consideration while I argued with myself about the #625443
changes being included - technically they don't qualify as they fix an
issue which should not arise in stable, but are relatively small in the
context of the rest of the patch so I'm not going to quibble if you
upload a version including them.
