I don't see that anyone noticed anything on the Sage upstream ticket https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/22252 which is already merged, but then again I know that not everybody reads the documentation and checks it for flaws...

Thanks for the patch over on IRC! I've applied it in Debian git and forwarded it upstream.
