This was recently introduced by the commit that moved the initialization
earlier (15cf17d26e08ee9). It basically moved too much, and I didn't
catch it. If that patch is in 3.9, then yes, this needs to go to stable.
Otherwise it is not affected.

However, I do remember Andrey telling me that he hit this bug in both
3.9 and 3.10-rc1, so yes, stable it is.
