David: How do you propose we move forward on this? 

Should we provide a switch to keep the original behaviour (which is off by default) so if there is someone depending on this bug, they could still continue to do it with relatively small change?

It is a change of behaviour, so probably isn't going to be back ported if it gets merged in 3.9 window.
