The priority of a bug doesn't matter too much. A typo in the docs (and you linked to some) can be a P5, and still, the right branch to fix it is stable. The important bit here is that it's a behaviour change, and they *usually* belong to dev, not stable. However, it's a behaviour change that brings that method closer to what the related specification mandates, and doesn't require a massive code overhaul. So I'm keen to say that indeed the patch belong to stable. (I'm not a maintainer in that area, though.) Please don't bash each other, let's just discuss it by bringing proper arguments.
