It is against 2.6.8.1.

Well, it sure works fine for me.  Unless someone else can reproduce your
issue, you'll have to look into it yourself.  I don't discount the
likelihood it's a bug caused by my patch, but such an error is so far
afield that there is no way for me to guess at what you might be seeing.
