It doesn't seem to have been fixed in those upcoming releases. Both myself and Little have tried 1.0.0 from the nightlies (well, j-b's build since the nightlies aren't working), and both of us have confirmed that the bug still exists in that 1.0.0 build.
Edit: Meant to include a link to the other thread, sorry:
