I'm personally not sure where the problem lies (Lennart may have more
clue here), but I was thinking that it could be related to
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=534130 mainly due to Lennart
mentioning the first patch in that bug report and the second one being a
followup to the first one.
