Should http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/repositories/diff/ruby-19?rev=24500 be backported to 1.8?

$ ruby -v -rdate -e 'p Date.strptime("2010/1", "%Y/%W").to_s'
ruby 1.8.6 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 287) [universal-darwin9.0]
"2010-01-10"
$ ruby1.8.7 -v -rdate -e 'p Date.strptime("2010/1", "%Y/%W").to_s'
ruby 1.8.7 (2009-12-24 patchlevel 248) [i686-darwin9.8.0]
"2010-01-10"
$ ruby1.9 -v -rdate -e 'p Date.strptime("2010/1", "%Y/%W").to_s'
ruby 1.9.2dev (2009-12-16 trunk 26107) [i386-darwin9.8.0]
"2010-01-04"

Monday of the first week of 2010 is clearly not 1/10, so the change in r24500 would seem to be a bug fix. I searched for a ticket for the change made in r24500 but could not find one.

Thanks,
Brian
