No, it's definitely broken. If backward compatibility is really a 
concern, the policy would be to fall back to the current behavior when 
#version 3.6 (or earlier) is specified, while providing no way of 
"resurrecting" this bug for non-legacy scenes. This way, some versions 
later the bug can be fully removed from the code.
