Comment (by RDall):

 As requested I have tested the patch on a version of WordPress running
 trunk with the various gallery plugins with a follow results.

 [https://wordpress.org/plugins/nextgen-gallery/ NextGen] - No issue, both
 photo and captions imports properly.

 [https://wordpress.org/plugins/rocket-galleries/ Rocket Galleries] - No
 issue both photo and caption imported properly.

 [https://wordpress.org/plugins/gallery-images/ Image Gallery (Huge It)] -
 Plugin falls to upload images properly in 4.2-alpha-31484 regardless of
 IPTC patch or not. The plugin performed poorly running on 4.1.1 so our
 patch will have little impact on this plugin in my opinion.

 [https://wordpress.org/plugins/gallery-bank/ Gallery Bank] - Plugin didn't
 upload IPTC information into caption on upload. But the patch doesn't
 break the plugin nor does it add any functionality either.

 It would conclude (conjecture) that the plugins which use core
 functionality to include captions already found in the IPTC field is just
 applying the caption field properly. But the plugins that don't upload
 caption information before the applied the patch wouldn't apply the
 caption after the applied patch.
