I didn't know about these post-Mike regressions.

I'm assuming Mike's fix was indeed targeted at these regressions and
presumably only partly fixed them.

Thanks. I have queued reverts for both Mike's fix (925346c129da117)
and for the original patch (9630f0d60fec5fb). Both reversions have
cc:stable.

I'll hold onto these reversions for a week or so before sending them
upstream, if they are still needed.
