One additional data point on this issue.  I finally caught up with jwilk and he 
did do a comprehensive search on this issue:

<jwilk> ScottK: I believe I hunted down everything that had such a bug in

I agree it's an upstream failing, but I still think it's better to just fix the 
remaining three packages.
