Yes, I know, that's how I knew it was an issue ;-)

Correct.

Oh, so I guess it got in because it applied, but broke the build. Thus,
your scripts catch when a Fixes does not apply, but doesn't handle the
"broken build / boot" case?

The patch that got backported only fixes an issue with new events (hence
why I did not mark it for stable). If those events are not backported,
there's no reason to backport this one.
