One thing I felt needed to be expressed here is that the fact that this defect arose in an update to the LTS edition at all worries me. Combined with the fact that this defect has been opened and under active discussion for months now without any 'real' resolution - other than some hacks and workarounds - is even more concerning. According to the Jenkins website LTS editions should "...change(s) less often and only for important bug fixes...". This policy seems to have been completely negated here. Given the severity / impact of this change I would have expected whatever "improvement" was made that caused this problem would have been reserved for the "latest" release, or at the very least reverted from the LTS edition after this problem was discovered.

Perhaps someone with more knowledge about the cause of this error could elaborate on why neither of these approaches has been taken here.
