Oh, yes, I haven't had time to follow up on this. My patch is here[1].
It has a bit more info in the commit message and is a bit less
intrusive. However, Nicholas's approach is more of a cleanup and may be
a bit cleaner going forward.

I also had another bug fix in that series I really need to find time to
update and resend. I'll try to do it in the next cycle.
