The changeset to fix the metnioned bug was pushed to the default branch.
The default branch is merged into the stable branch, from which releases
are generated, just before the next major release. Stable releases, like
5.2.0 are generated from the stable branch without merging the default
branch before.
In this case, the fix is in the upcoming 6.1.0 release.
