Just so that I'm clear, what I think you're saying that the wrong-code 
problem has been there all along, and the only regression was actually 
the warning.  Investigating the warning revealed that we were generating 
wrong-code, and fixing the wrong-code problem fixed the warning, but the 
only actual regression per se was the warning.  If that's accurate, 
then, yes, we should add a note saying that this won't be fixed for 
3.4.x, and close the PR as FIXED.

Thanks,
