This issue has not been fully resolved, re-opening.

Comment 6 Deepak Bhole 2010-08-19 15:58:57 UTC

After some clarification, it turns out that the issue is resolved and has been backported to 1.7.4.

Comment 7 Vincent Danen 2010-08-19 16:54:34 UTC

That clarification would be the upstream notification that 1.7.4 corrects these flaws:
