I think the fix should go into 8.4 - this is a fix for a new feature.
However, a couple of comments:

This does not take into account the effect of symlinks as mentioned by
Itakagi Takahiro. I haven't looked at the details, but I don't think it
would be that much more work to deal with it - and as he mentions, this
is a very common usecase.

Also, wouldn't it be better to isolate this to the first time when we
try to create the file - then we don't have to export the symbol?
