I should say that Dmitry filed a bug about this behavior (not this
exactly but a similar behavior):
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?60799
He provided a patch but I'm still thinking about it because it is a
behavior change. It won't be in 4.4 but maybe later. However, I don't
think that change by itself will help you with this problem.
It might be possible to fix this specific case without compat problems
since it's a variable assignment.
