How about backporting the tests?  In addition to adding tests for the fix, Greg added more comprehensive tests for the existing behavior (i.e. test_int_base_limits()).  Backporting the latter would help prevent regressions from future fixes in earlier versions.

Also, if we don't backport shouldn't there be a version changed in the docs?
