Actually the referenced thread says:

"You'll be pleased to know that the fix ships in the upcoming 8.5.8
release, and is also (of course) forward-ported to the 8.6 branch, so
it'll be in 8.6b2."

I'm guessing that 8.6b2 is newer than 8.6b1.2, but I don't know the
details of the fix or if they relate to this issue.

Ah ok - I guess I'll have to wait for 8.6b2. I checked activestate and
they still do not have this version of Tcl available.
