This covers cases where missing values could always have been caught by the user - "Converters can also be used to provide a default value for missing data: ``converters = {3: lambda s: float(s or 0)}``." The ticket simply addresses the issue that "delimiter='\t'" is treated differently from other delimiters if (and only if) the missing value is the last item in the row.
