Milestoning it for 2.1.1 as it looks like a minor bugfix to me but feel free to postpone it to 2.2 if somebody thinks that it would be better. (see edit)

Supplementary question: should I rebase against the 2.1.x branch?

Edit: re-milestoning it for v2.2, accordingly to what @dstansby suggested in #9397.
