Just to clarify; is this a fix to functionality that used to work but
is now broken, and if so, what broke it? Having that in the patch
description when reposted is very useful.

Fixes for features that never worked is generally not -rc material.
Sometimes during the first -rcs it could be OK, but not later on in
the release cycle. It should instead be queued up in a
fixes-non-critical type branch for the next merge window instead.
