feel free to rewrite the reverted patch with those fixes, it's one of the
cases where it's just easier right now to revert it (i'm also currently
travelling and testing is hard). plus, that way we have the patch in one,
not across two patches that may make future cherry-picking harder.

will do once it's on master.
