I was pretty sure it wasn't.  The workarounds I provided here and in bug
#68510 were so that that info could be taken into account when prioritizing
work, in case they turned out to be thorny problems.  Since #68510 had a
fairly simple workaround, and this one didn't, that suggests (all else being
equal, which it never is) prioritizing this bug higher.
