Fix for #3363 into 2.8.0.RC2?

Grzegorz,

I am preparing RC2 at time time; it will be a copy of revision r21870. I
don't think there is enough time to include any further changes right now,
and the fix should also be reviewed by Martin beforehand, I understand.

We can include the fix in the next rc cycle, however.
