Yes, this just looks like bugs.

* Unknown section types should not be adjusted or touched and minimally passed
  through during a copy. We should not adjust them to the next PROGBITS section.

* Backports of the fix to active branches to enable distributions to easily
  pickup the fixes.

... and keep moving forward with a proper fix (and consensus around it).
