I don't have the time, energy or motivation to do the tests myself, but the changes look ok. I think is best to submit this patch in the bts (if didn't already). One can test himself if the thing works by doing what I did myself back in January[1]. If someone has time to prepare a custom image with this patch included I might me able to do it.
