The standard procedure for an incompatible change would be to add such a parameter to 2.6, and then change the default behavior in 2.7 (or rather 3.1). Of course, people will not notice the change in 2.6, and then be surprised as much about the default change in 2.7, assuming this problem arises in some application (and this issue is proof that the problem does arise in real life - unless drtomc brought up an artificial problem).
