This looks like a simple permissions problem, not a bug.

No, there has been discussion about whether different behavior
would be better in future major releases, but no consensus has been
reached.

Back-patching means changing things in a minor release, where
things only change after the second dot. We don't make changes in
user-visible behavior like this in minor releases; so no, we would
not make a change like this in 9.2.3 or any other 9.2 version.

it would almost certainly break things for somebody.

But it is not clear to me if you're willing to fix it for 9.2.3
for instance?

Ok, thanks for the explanation, Kevin.

I'm curious though. Why wouldn't this behavior be considered a bug? Is 
there any link to previous discussions about this subject that I could read?
