I would like to, but I'm unfamiliar with loaddefs-gen and what Philip's
change was addressing.  I'll need some time to understand and test
what's going on.  Unfortunately I'm only very sporadically at a keyboard
until at least tomorrow evening.  Hopefully Philip or Robert can beat me
to it, otherwise I hope to have a look in the coming days.
