Nice! Thanks for tracking that down. The patch looks great.
You might want to mention (in the log) the commit that introduced the
bug, since you already did the work to track it down:
v6.10-21-ged5c4e7

I preferred to require that for each NEWS-worthy bug fix, because
otherwise, it can be costly to re-derive or dig up in mail archives.
