Could you report this upstream?  The address is [email protected]
(no need to subscribe; the convention is to always reply-to-all
there).

Realistically, the phenomenon will only get fixed if someone suggests
a patch. :)

It really is possible that the best place to fix this is in the
kernel.  It comes down to what is simplest.

Thanks for the report,
Jonathan
