Of course; that is the breakage you are trying to fix, no? My comment was that I understand you are trying to, but the patch is not actually fixing it.
If anything, it is making it worse. Earlier we would have got a false breakage that would make people notice and take a look. With your patch applied, we instead would let a breakage in parts earlier than these "unset VAR;" go unnoticed, no?
