Sorry, no.  It's too late to include changes with non-trivial
consequences such as this one on the release branch.

Since you have patched your own Emacs, the problem is fixed for you,
yes?  Others will have to decide whether they want to switch to the
development snapshot of Emacs 28 or patch their Emacs 27.
