Comment:

 Quick update on this:

 I've put together a proper patch for this against HEAD that I intend to
 submit by this weekend, closing the issue. By all indications, the patch
 above has been working fine and hasn't caused any failures. I want to do a
 little bit more testing first but otherwise I think this one is basically
 sorted.

 I'll include this patch in a 7.6.3 hotfix release for 10.9 users that also
 includes backported clang-fixes from thoughtpolice. The backporting is
 basically done but needs a bit more testing. Should be ready by next week
 if not sooner.
