While I was backporting a patch against orcus for the 6-0 branch last night, I did notice the possibility of this very issue, and was thinking of how to address it for that branch.  Since you've already discovered this and emailed it to the list, let me provide my thoughts on this.

That sounds correct to me.

I'm building packages for ubuntu 18.04 where liborcus is at version
0.13.3 in the archive already, which is why I've started hitting the
issue. I'll test the change I suggested earlier as a distro-patch, and
it can be dropped later when your changes are merged and released.
