Many thanks for your help! I filed a bug report (bug#22044) and replied
to it with the proposed patch. Unfortunately, it seems like the pseudo
header "Tags: patch" in the body of the reply was not properly processed
by debbugs as it still appears in the message. I have no idea why...

I would be very happy to help if there is anything else I can do for the
proposed changes to be accepted.
