Ok, I see that fixes the link error, but I when I created my fix, that did
not seem like the correct solution because it reverts part of the original
patch without reverting the rest of it. Unfortunately there was no
changelog text in the first patch to explain why this is safe.

Could you double-check if the behavior is still correct after the two patches?
