This code doesn't seem to be doing what it is supposed to do on my
machine.

No, I was using this experimental version the last time I ran an X
server, which is different moment than the last time I reproduced the
bug. I reproduced the bug with version 6.8.2.dfsg.1-3 before
submitting, as the pseudo-header of my bug report said. And I
reproduced it today with 6.8.2.dfsg-4 .

To the best of my knowledge, I did that before submitting the bug in
the first place. "dpkg -l '*'|grep pre1v1" returns an empty output and
"dpkg -l '*'|grep 6.8.2.dfsg | awk '{print $3}'|uniq" returns only
6.8.2.dfsg.1-4. I believe this ensures that all my X.Org packages are
at version 6.8.2.dfsg.1-4, which is, at time of writing, the latest.
Here is the - I believe - full list of my installed X.Org packages:
master@bagnat:~$ egrep -B 7 '^Source: xorg' /var/lib/dpkg/status|egrep ^Package|sed 's/^Package: //'|xargs dpkg -l
