Comment (by achbed):

 Rather than patching core on my production boxen, I'm doing a "poor man's"
 filter instead on my live sites to paper over the issue.  See comment 5
 above.

 I also tend to use a "fix once correctly" approach, rather than use a
 patch that may cause unknown collateral damage (more than already exists).
 Let's try to get this resolved permanently once.
