The commit message did mention that this fix might have problem with translatable string messages - would you mind providing a bit more context about what is needed to backport this fix? Thank you.

Well, the commit message lists the reasons for not back-patching:

* we've seen few field complaints about such problems
* it'd add work for translators
* it wouldn't work reliably before v12.

Perhaps there's a case for back-patching as far as v12,
but I can't get very excited about it.
