Would it be a good idea to have a point release with just this fixed?
I guess it's such a trivial fix that it wouldn't need as much testing
as a normal release and I think it's worth the effort.

We should at least add a warning to the 1.43 release notes on the
website. If you write it, I'll add it for you.
