I hope that the smiley in Hilmar's text is meant to be an ironic
one. There have been regular LaTeX updates in the past years, addressing
bugfixes like that one. And I would be surprised if this wouldn't happen
again, whereas as far as I know LaTeX3 is something for the not-so-near
future. 

But indeed, there is no chance that any fix will get into sarge, I
fear. You know the filecontents environment?
