Yes, I know that bug very well but AFAIK the patches were applied only by
some binary distributors and not committed to svn.  Anyone know for sure?
(That patch is no longer needed, BTW.)

Yes, that was a gdk-pixbuf bug that was fixed somewhere between gtk2

No polished app should be confused by unexpected user input -- that's
how many security exploits do their dirty work.  If you can show us the
