This bug doesn't affect upstream, but is a regression from https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=655453 which was filed and fixed in Debian. The Debian patch is the source of this bug since the fix was incorrect. I'm reporting it to Debian and adding a note to the upstream bug to revise the fix before commit. I'll add an Ubuntu debdiff as a patch so it can easily be removed when this package is synced again.
