The only thing that might be appropriate to backport is the docs fix,
change "kilobytes" to "bytes" in config.sgml where the parameter is
described. The bug complaint here was mad at the documentation not
matching the behavior, rather than the behavior itself. I agree with
the change to HEAD you've suggested though, that's the right way to do
this for future releases.
This change is something worth mentioning in the release notes for 9.0 too.
