I suppose you're right that backwards compatibility trumps other 
concerns at this stage in the release process.  I installed a patch to 
do that as emacs-24 bzr 116866.  I left in a FIXME comment, though, as 
the old behavior is obviously problematic.

This later patch shouldn't affect whether the bug is fixed.
