It is not easy to verify this patch. The bug reproduces only with the binary pulseaudio-11.1-6.fc26 rpm installed. I have built the pulseaudio-11.1-6.fc26 package from sources and the bug does not reproduce. It does not reproduce also with pulseaudio built from the git repo without the patch.
I tested the new pulseaudio-11.1-7.fc26 binary package with the patch and it works well.
