I thought about queueing this up as a fix, but as it is unlikely to be hit and there is another patch (which isn't a fix) dependent on it I went with the worst of both worlds and took it for the next merge window whilst marking it for stable.
I added a note to the description to say why for when people see it next cycle
Thanks,
