Comment (by nerrad):

 > If this isn't going to get fixed, then transients should get their own
 bonafide table. Which imo is a better option(!) anyways

 Either that or add a timestamp column to the options table so that
 transients don't require two rows for each transient, which might be a
 good interim measure.
