It's "known broken" as of today because I've made you aware of it and 
provided a patch to fix it.  I annotated the changelog with 
stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx since v3.7 since the problem goes back to that time 
because of the commit quoted in the changelog.

The Kconfig allows for the broken config in 3.8-rc8, so I see no risk 
whatosever in fixing it to prevent specifically that broken combination.  
But again, it's your subsystem so if you'd like to drop this plainly 
obvious fix, that's completely your call.

As stated, linux-next as of today has this problem.  If you have a public 
git tree with patches that touch this area that are not pushed to 
linux-next, please send me the location and I'll try the combination 
stated in the changelog.  (You could do that, as well, if you want.)
