It was reported as a bug here:

http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/index.php?func=detailitem&item_id=14721

and as a patch. Not knowing how the patch section should work I just let 
it alone
in case it was useful to someone. How *should* it be used?

As you can see a patch has been committed to the feature branch and should
work without further changes.
