It looks like my comment
<https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=884075#27> was
incorrect, in that the two bugs are different bugs. glibc bug 11053 is
fixed, but Debian bug 884075 is not fixed. Perhaps a better match for
Debian bug 884075 is glibc bug 10844.

It's not an important bug. However, if you have time to fix it please
feel free to send in a fix.
