No, that implementation also needs the fix. It's just that it was never properly tested, so they thought it was working correctly.
They tested the same strings on that implementation., though judging by the recent comments someone’s found something.
The strings were the same, but not the implementation. They were testing the decoding of the strings, but the C function they were looking at was the one for encoding them. The decoding function was correct but what it read didn't match the encoding one.
Yeah, that's me :)
