Nice catch! I've uploaded 4000.2.10 with your fix (and no other changes from 4000.2.9, which itself only has dependency changes since 4000.2.8).
I'm fine with this going into the upcoming HP release, but I don't have a strong opinion either way myself.
It is a code change perhaps quite late in the day, albeit a small one with significant benefits; it's not fixing an out and out regression but on the other hand the problem is likely getting worse over time as the hackage index gets larger.
Nice catch indeed! The fix seems straight-forward and has pretty important consequences. I think it would be worth pushing this into the HP release if we can.
