I've deployed the patch for this to all wordpress.com blogs.  There  
is also a ticket for wordpress.org:

http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4469

I'll follow up and make sure the committers there are aware of it.

Thanks for point this out and doesn't hesitate to contact me about  
any other questions/issues/bugs that come up in XML-RPC for WordPress.
