We don't normally document back-patched patches in as-yet-unreleased
branches, since the point of release notes is to tell you what's new
compared to the previous release, and this item isn't (or won't be).

Also, I doubt that this is of any great concern to the average user.
It's not a scenario that would come up in anything I would call a
supported use-case.  If we're to reverse the aforementioned policy,
there are probably quite a few patches that would now need to be
documented as "new in 9.5" and are more significant than this.

​IOW, if you are familiar with how a previous version works you should keep up with its release notes to catch a bug-fix behavior change like this.  Those who will end up learning on the upcoming release will simply learn that this is how things work.
