To my experience over several releases it does not matter at all how
small the upstream bugfixes might be.  Freeze means only RC bugs will be
fixed.  Your only chance to get this through is if you file an RC bug
which is fixed by the diff between 0.8.4 to 0.8.6 - but I doubt that
this is rectified.  The release team is following the rules very
strictly so I think you will loose your bet.

BTW, I would concentrate on the question why the tests that passed
before are failing now.

Kind regards

        Andreas.
