I'm not sure it's the right way to do readable() but we seem to be stuck
with that anyway.

The change looks good to me, and I will try and test it soon but it may
take some time due to various other things going on in life. Can you
submit it for 4.2 anyway and give it a bit of time for any screaming
then push to stable ? The number of people using anonymous cards is
pretty small these days so I think it's better to fix the regression you
have and worry about anonymous cards as a secondary thing.
