Hmm. I don't have any counter-arguments against a backpatch based on
your argument related to b7b0f3f27241. Thanks for reorganizing the
patch set so as the tests happen first, and the changes in the code
become second.

If you wish me to look at this patch set in details, I may be able to
do so around the beginning of next week. I'm not sure that there is a
strong urgency in tackling this issue for this minor release, this
could wait a bit more..
