I tested your patch on 10-BETA2 and 10-BETA3. I built our complete
production environment from scratch, ran a huge number of unit and
integration tests. Everything works as expected, including Ice's
"Schwarz Counter" implementation
(http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/More_C%2B%2B_Idioms/Nifty_Counter).

So as far as I can tell this fixes the problem, while still
accomplishing the goals of r211706.

Thanks for work,
Michael
