I think we should not backport this.  It's a behavior change and my concern
would be that anybody who's bitten by this in Python 2.7 is either already
dealing with it or has already worked around it.  I wouldn't want to change
that in a 2.7 point release.

@r.david.murray might have a different opinion.
