As a maintainer you have a right to handle bug fixing in that way, but
certainly that is not how I would handle this.

It's easy to validate this fix, it's extremely unlikely to cause
a regression, and fixes a problem someone actually was able to
trigger.

Deferring to -next only has the side effect of making people wait
longer for the fix.
