Thanks for this suggestion. This seems to fix this issue (a similar fix
is needed for string_types).

Then there are five test failures (over more than 2,000 tests) that I
don’t know how to fix. I’ve temporarily disabled those test to
facilitate the migration. Hopefully upstream will soon provide a real
fix.

Best,
