The fix is an obvious one, and one we've made before to other parts  
of WordPress, so I'm not worried that it'll be bypassed (past similar  
fixes would have been bypassed by now).  It does call attention to  
it, but any PHP script kiddie worth his salt would have been able to  
pick the change out of a big changeset anyway.

Yep... normal WP users aren't on the wp-testers list, so it could  
give troublemakers a head start against them.
