Please always provide a minimal recipe to reproduce whatever problems
you see.  For add-on packages, please also provide an explanation why
what you see is problematic.  E.g., in this case, by just seeing the
echo-area messages, I don't quite understand the problem, as I don't
use hydra.

Some minimal details like that are always necessary to understand what
is the problem and how to fix it.

We don't usually revert commits when they cause problems, we rather
prefer fixing the problems.  I'm quite sure this one will be fixed
soon enough.

Thanks.
