Nope, it's definitely not going into beta3; it's about two days
too late for that.

I agree fixing it in HEAD only is the more conservative course.
To do otherwise, we'd have to rank the #18545 bug as fairly
important, and I'm not sure I buy that given how long it took to
notice it.  But I was curious to see if anyone felt differently.
