That doesn't revert cleanly for me, and I don't have much time to
fiddle with it until the 24th---so checked out the commit before it
(d4ae84a0), applied your patch, built, and yes, everything works fine
at that point.  I'll probably have time for another full bisection
later, assuming things aren't ironed out already by then.
