What happens with the commit if the branch is deleted but the superproject 
still references it is an interesting git question. :-)

Ideally, the feature will be fixed for the next release in a normal manner, 
so the question will be moot in addition to interesting, but in practice, it 
would probably still hold some relevance. :-)

Either way, forking seems a but heavy-handed.
