I'm sort of hoping that I can get this fix into a Debian Jessie stable
update. It being in upstream emacs-24 would make this more rather more
likely. (Debian doesn't allow stuff to be fixed in stable that isn't
already fixed in unstable.)

Is there any chance of committing the fix to emacs-24? It doesn't
cherry-pick cleanly but only requires minor fixing (attached.)

Thanks.

Mike.
