The impact is that I can't create an AppImage with a recent .desktop-file, because AppImageKit
wants .desktop-files to validate on the oldest still-supported versions of Ubuntu LTS.

Thanks for the detail. I'm closing the main bug target since it's fixed in the current Ubuntu version. We can open a trusty-targetted line if we plan to SRU there but the bug seems minor and we fixes only major issues and security problems on trusty at this point.
