Hi Phil,
The 9.4 backport of the patch in question is this commit by yours truly:
https://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=30e3cb307d494990cb38cebff6bfc8b4ce27d7ab
This will appear in the next minor release of the 9.4 series (as well as
9.5), due out sometime during February 2017.
Thanks,
