I got my answer here:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=7944791&forum_id=5119

So, to conclude: we can simplify.  These are the patches I have applied
to the respective branches to fix this issue.  Since my func_source
patch also happened to fix a number of under-quotations, I ported that
to branch-2-0 as well.  Resulting patches are attached.

Thanks to Earnie Boyd and Eric Blake for their help!

Cheers,
Ralf
