Hi all- As someone who routinely finds modules that sound great but the fine print ends up being something like "win32 users, don't bother" I vote for at least a work around for the specific issue for the release.
Waiting for an upstream fix for a module you don't control can be unpredictable. In this case, what about requiring the non-broken version for this release? It could be made conditional on the platform if needed or desired.
