The ticket in question is http://hub.qgis.org/issues/3975

And previous attempt at a fix
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/1096#issuecomment-39040544
and some more comments on a merge request.
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/1286

So yes looks the like bug is still open, but at the same time it looks
like the code is in, can't tell if 2.4 or if you need a nightly build.
It is also unclear if there is a dialog to set the export format or if
you have manually tweak the qgs project file.

Larry is the one who will know.

Thanks,
