We take regressions (and user reports) seriously and trying our best to
provide fixes asap.
We do prioritize bug fixes over features but in this case for some
reason the review process took longer than it usually does and the patch
has not been sent upstream. Patches must pass the review before they put
to the upstream queue.

I will be sending the fix in few minutes after testing it on top of next.
