I believe this build (git hash 227085283b6379038ec16f4cf9ad2e8869cef694) doesn’t actually contain the fix for MNG-5227. The previous testing snapshot built from 644ac9c40ad41bf61e3b099918af33b8eb950621 did contain the fix for MNG-5227, but the fix was reverted to avoid breaking builds which relied on the old behaviour.
