I've applied this to HEAD and 8.3 so we can get some buildfarm testing
on it as well.

Andrew, any chance you can get 8.3-tip tested with your client? Or at
least in your own reproducable-environment?

I didn't backpatch to 8.2, because the code is completely different
there. We should probably consider doing it once we know if this fixes
the actual issue, but I don't want to spend the effort on backporting it
until we know it works.
