I think Xavier is refering to http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/changeset/24791 which
I have indeed not backported to 1.9 branch. It is a bug fix, but also quite an
extensive change in the driver, and has some regression potential. Indeed I
had to fix it a bit later in http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/changeset/24887 . As it
only covers marginal use cases (*) where special characters are used, I didn't
feel like backporting it.
Even
(*) at least, to my eyes. Of course people who hit the bug will have a
different opinion...
