No observed bug, only theoretical ones (AFAIK, never even a ginned-up synthetic test case has been demonstrated). Certainly not a regression, since it has been this (wrong) way since the dawn of time. I don't think this first change is dangerous for -stable, but I have seen no positive rationale for pushing it there.
Thanks, Roland
