Looking at https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=68446 ,
the person who fixed the bug upstream doesn't do releases and has been
waiting for one since October.

This seems to suggest that we shouldn't wait long for upstream. I'm
not going to spend any more time on this though, so could somebody else
from the pkg-perl group please pick it up? I think either of the fixes
should do fine.
