Herbert, thanks for following up on this.

Although this is technically a "bug fix" we don't have anyone
explicitly triggering this and I don't feel comfortable pushing this
into net-2.6 without a reported failure case right now.

So I applied it to net-2.6.24 for now.

If you disagree, plead your case :-)
