Hmm, I experienced no problem when I tested it.  What did you observe
(see my question below).

Having a like this is great.  Two remarks

  * please move it above the "* gnu/packages/admin" line
  * it would be great if you can add link to the ktsuss bug tracer about
    this "unknown" bug

Without any indication about what the bug is or how it can be
reproduced, it becomes hard to remove this workaround.

Other than that: LGTM.

Greetings,
