I just finished checking that earlier this afternoon. I can confirm
that 4.18 does not have the problem. 4.17.19 has the problem. So, the
fix was introduced in 4.18.
I am in the process of compiling my own kernel so I can prove that
that particular commit was indeed the fix.

That would be excellent. :)
