I took the commit 8f778bbc542ddf8f6243b21d6aca087e709cabdc as the base for further checking (I started building before I read your message). It's a descendant of 4.0-rc6, so I hope it's not going to make a difference.

Results:
8f778bb : bad
8f778bb + reverted 84c91b7 : good
8f778bb + patch [1] : good

Thanks!
