No. We don't do this. We don't add TOTAL CRAP to the kernel just because somebody is being an idiot in user space. This is definitely a user space bug. It was a serious bug before, it just wasn't obvious. The thing is, if anybody runs SLES, they expect support. That's what the "E" in "Enterprise" means. So I would suggest SLES now show that support by fixing THEIR BUG.
