I haven't been able to reproduce the issue on two different machines.

Yes, that's the plan, though we probably have to get the sid only packages to use the new library first. I have filled a RC bug to make sure it's not shipped with Jessie. Can you maybe add a removal hint when the transition is finished so it is at least removed from testing?
