This is in 2.27-rc0, so it is not ultra-urgent to fix it at the tip of the current development track, but let's make sure we have a fix with a proper log messasge in a mergeable state (meaning "have already been cooked in 'next' for a week or two) early in the next cycle.

Thank you, Andreas, Martin and Elijah, as always.
