On what do you base this position? Do you have some concrete data that indicates this?

As noted, bisect led us here.  With the previous patch applied, bug occurs.  With the previous patch removed, it does not.  As the description says, we are reverting the patch until it can be determined whether the problem is the patch itself or that the patch better magnifies some other problem.
