I haven't examined the exact problem, but in such cases some people also 
either have workarounds in their own code, or supply "advices" for the 
core functions that work around the problem there.

This kind of solution requires a certain level of understanding of the 
code in question, and might be quite brittle otherwise (breaking other 
features for the same users). Not for the faint of heart, I'd say.
