Based on Bugzilla it appears the patch has been committed to CVS. I've attached a version that's rediffed against 2.16.1 instead of HEAD. I've patched my Epiphany installation, and it's working well. It'd be nice to see this put into Ubuntu until 2.16.2 is released since the current behavior is *very* disruptive to normal use of Epiphany.
