Yours is the first reply, so no issue has been created yet.
Thanks for checking into this...

Sorry, this has been sitting in my inbox waiting for me to get a chance
to look at it, but I just got around to it. I do think this is a
problem, and I'm working on a patch, but I have to figure out the
correct place to fix it (I'd assume that the config parser code should
be stripping this data, and that's what my current patch does, but I'm
not sure if our compat guidelines let us change that behavior, so I may
need to fix it in the authz code). Did you end up filing an issue about
it? I looked around, but could not find one.
