It looks fine to me, but I typically don't merge patches this late in
the development window (we are at -rc8), unless it is a serious bug
fix.

While this is a good patch that does fix a real but, the fact that it
has been broken for several releases tells me this is not a serious
bug and not likely worth the risk for the upcoming merge window
(however small it may be).  There has been a lot of good work put into
mdp very recently, and I expect to merge that, as well as your fix,
once the upcoming merge window closes.
