The problem isn't present in 9.3 and earlier (at least with
postfix-pgsql), so there's no need to go back further.

As for the number of complaints, I've received two independent reports
on IRC, and upon googling the problem had been seen as early as in
July [1] and August [2]. All four reports are for postfix-pgsql on
Debian, but that's probably just because we pushed 9.4 into the
next-release branch very early. (And I wish someone had told me about
the problem, instead of only reporting it for postfix...)
