I heard back from the dejagnu maintainers, who acknowledged the bug.

The current stable release is 1.6.3.  Since the currently envisioned fix 
breaks 8.4 support, it's scheduled for 1.6.5 rather than 1.6.4.

I proposed a fix that keeps backward compatibility, allowing it to be 
fixed in 1.6.4.

We could copy a version into lib/future.exp to have it fixed faster, but 
I don't see the need for this.  AFAIK we're currently not relying on this.

Thanks,
- Tom
