Comment:

 Further back-port patches combining [47887] and [47889] attached:
 [attachment:"49956-51.diff"], [attachment:"49956-52.diff"] and
 [attachment:"49956-53.diff"].

 Reopening as consensus above is to back-port to original affected release.
 While not a security issue, it's not a typical bug fix either so would be
 helpful to include when these branches are next updated.
