Well, I don't remember seeing this problem with anything 3.17 based but
I can check. I know this does not mean that it was introduced in 3.18,
only that other changes exposed the problem, but this still IMHO
qualifies as a bug to be fixed within 3.18. Besides, it makes testing
3.18-rc slightly more annoying (either skip the test or manually pick
the patch after each pull).
