Comment (by burlingtonbytes):

 @boonebgorges and @swissspidy Now that 4.8 stable has been released, how
 close are we to getting this merged into trunk? We ran across this bug
 again today in a client project. Especially since we already have a viable
 patch, it would be great to see this make it into 4.8.1.

 Let us know if we can help move this along.
