I have apparently filed the bug against the wrong version of Debian's
kernel.  2.6.38-3 is not affected, and works as expected.  The change
was introduced in -4.  That may have been clear from the report itself,
but the report was filed against -3.  I've fixed that in the BTS.

I've also confirmed that -5 is affected, to no great surprise.

I'll investigate further.
