This bug has been reported also in debian, as bug #820097. (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=820097)...
and fixed. The fixed version is already available for the next Ubuntu (Yakkety), in version 1.50i+dfsg-1. So maybe importing that newer version in Xenial would be fine.

Alternatively, the fix is a one line patch:
