It's not clear to me that this bug is an appropriate SRU candidate. If you believe it is, please expand on the justification. It might help for you to follow the SRU bug template¹ - you're also missing a test- case we can use to verify that this bug is fixed, and what should be checked to be confident that the change doesn't introduce any regressions.
