Hi Wim,
this seems like a real quality bug report to me - thank you for that.
I checked other versions up to the latest but eventually found that even in 
latest upstream the same code exists [1].

To fully understand that and also to make the change that eventually helps all 
downstreams and not only Ubuntu it would be best to file an issue there.
In any case that should get the subject matter experts thoughts on it, and we 
can follow depending on what comes up in this upstream discussion.

Please can you verify this by building directly from the latest upstream
source? If this can be confirmed as an upstream bug, the best route to
getting it fixed in Ubuntu in this case would be to file an upstream bug
if you're able to do that. Otherwise, I'm not sure what we can do
directly in Ubuntu to fix the problem. You could IMHO as well try the
same on Ubuntu Bionic or Cosmis whihc has version 1.16 matching the
latest upstream releases (well not the 1.6.1 release, but 1.6 at least).

I'd highly appreciate if you file a bug upstream to mention it here to
we can link up the bug tracking with it.
