Well, could in theory if fixed as in your patch ;-)

No, it doesn't.  As I mentioned his original patches contained a fix
like yours, but I left it out because I didn't understand it yet.

I think the patch will cause some minor merge pain as it touches
incore.c which gets more or less fully rewritten as part of the
patch series.  I think it's useful enough to be put in, but so are
the other repair patches :)
