Comment:

 FYI, I've never done changes file for '''bugfixes''' of unreleased code.
 Maybe I should have? nickm can clarify this but from my perspective the
 changes file are useful for the ChangeLog so there is not need to document
 a fix on a feature that was never released else we would do change file
 for basically every commit.

 That said, I believe the patch here is accurate and mergeable.

 I'll put this one in needs_information and direct it to nickm.
