 0.3.0 is meant to be frozen right about now, and this fix could
 destabilize things in ways we haven't tested much, getting it into 0.3.0
 makes me a bit nervous.

 You're right, I forgot we were doing the freeze this week. (I'm used to
 them being about a month later.)

 > That said, if we put it into 0.3.1 and there's a problem with it, it
 will be a long time until we notice the problem, and we'll have forgotten
 about this ticket in the mean time. So that isn't obviously a winning move
 either. :)

 Just make me the IPv6 person :-)
 Although even I forget things I've written by the time they're in stable.
