No, while I understand that you would like this to be fixed, this 
change might be disruptive - you never know on what weird 
behavior people rely. Anything potentially breaking existing code 
can't be part of a patch release.

Also AFAICT no one has submitted a PR to fix the issue you 
referenced, so it's a hypothetical question (for now).
