We found and fixed a similar issue with an identical patch.  It has been working fine for us under stable/8.

Unfortunately I am weeks and weeks behind on pushing fixes back to the tree, so you had to duplicate the work.  If it can be committed (and MFC'd to 8, please) it would save others the trouble.
