+1 to fix it ASAP. A lot of people usually wait for 8.x.1 before
considering a migration and people are usually quite cautious with the
8.3 migration because of all the cast errors in the existing app.

Another question is how we can be sure it doesn't happen again. The
easiest way to test this is probably to have a JDBC test testing this
exact feature in the future benchfarm. Any comment?
