I guess its time to blush on my side. During the bisection for the
commit that introduced the problem I came to the point where it was
clear to me that it was already in 4.16. This was a while back I have
have honestly no idea how I did this mistake.
I tested again now with plain 4.16 and it works fine.
The fix is also in 4.17-rcX where it actually is needed. In the end I am
glad that it was not introduced and slipped me in an earlier release.

No backport needed. I simply screwed up when verifying this for 4.16.
I put on the hat of shame for today and will try harder the next time.
Sorry to have wasted your time on this. :/
