I'd certainly propose to apply the patch to trunk as well.

The reasoning would be that any code which triggers an abort-call should
be detected automatically by the test suite and not interrupt the test
run (waiting for some user interaction). So while atm no other case
seems to trigger the problem, it'd certainly improve the test facility
and prevent future problems the next time some added test (or code
change) triggers an abort() as part of running a test.
