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...
