I'm a bit confused this goes in and even to stable. Let me quote your
own analysis from

I believe the above is correct and even Jimmy was unable to verify your
later patch (3rd in this serie), which brings a question how could be this
patch tested. It just burns a bug a bit deeper and I do not think it is the
right approach.
