This is a pretty big bummer. Yehuda Katz on Twitter called it an "epic show-stopping bug" and in the linked thread says he says it will prevent him from recommending 1.9.2.
I should also add that it looks as though the bug has been put back into the 1.9.2 milestone and Shyouhei has asked to make it a 1.9.2 blocker. For the moment, I am cautiously optimistic.
Yup, Yehuda, i've stated it in my post... any news on that one? I can see from bug-tracker that it seems to be fixed, but are they going to release it?..
