I did read your mail, but I was working on an old tree... because of 
that transformation, this fix will unfortunately have to be back and 
forward ported by hand.

Did you try just that change right applied on top of the patch 
(e48672fa25e879f7ae21785c7efd187738139593) implicated by bisect?

It will be great to know if that change alone fixes the problem, if so, 
the fix you propose is probably the right one for upstream.

Thanks,

Zach
