Yes.  Known bug, fixed properly in branch-2-0.  Unfortunately I don't
know of a clean workaround for branch-1-5, and we have a handful of
patches (at least, and one of them tricky) that need to go into
branch-2-0 before we can release the next 2.0alpha, and then hopefully
2.0 soon after that.  Sorry.

Regards,
Ralf
