I've submitted a patch (http://python.org/sf/849227).  And yes,
somebody should probably take a good look at it before applying.  The
(modified) test suite does pass on my machine, but that's all.  I may
well have forgotten to add tests for new special cases, and I'm not
the most experienced C programmer on the block either.

As a side note, I think that line 233 in Lib/test/test_format.py

  if sys.maxint == 2**32-1:

should be

  if sys.maxint == 2**31-1:

but I didn't include that in the patch or submit a bug report.
Should I?

Peace,
  Kalle
