I suspect this is the same issue I was seeing[1]. The patch I submitted doesn't apply to the git repo though. I was working from a tarball at the time and didn't realize how different that looked from the git master branch. I have an updated (for the 8.4 tarball) version available if it's useful, but haven't had the time to properly patch it into git for resubmission.
