Given the natute (AFAIU) of this issue is the very same of the bug you
mention, shouldn't this bug be merged (forcemerged?) whith #28659?

If you agree and have no time, I can try doing this

Does make it sense to make this workaround more general and add this as
a Cookbook or blog entry? If the patch you propose in #28659 solve any
issue and is ready to be merget of course it's not worth the effort
