The 4.8.0 release is broken, but the 4.9.0 one is not. It's unfortunate, but "4.9.0" may refer to "the 4.9.0 release" or to "some point after trunk forked 4.8 branch up to and including the 4.9.0 release point". In this case, it's the latter -- this can be inferred from the fact that the fix went into trunk in October 2013 while 4.9.0 was branched and released during the first half of 2014.
