Yes. The attached patch that fixes the incorrect merge seems to fix
things for me.

That should mean that the assumption that this problem existed in v4.6
too was wrong, because the incorrect merge came in later. I think
Luciano mis-understood "v4.6+" to mean plain v4.6.

Reinoud Koornstra, does this patch fix things for you too?
