PDF encryption encrypts the link target

When using the <fo:basic-link> element to create an external link, the link content is encrypted when encryption is enabled.

This has previously been brought up in issue FOP-2279, where examples were given, and a solution was proposed but as of the latest release (2.1) this still seems to be an issue.

I can correct the issue by applying the fix proposed in the above issue but this means creating my own custom build of the engine which i really do not want to keep doing.

Are there any plans to correct this problem in the main release trunk as I really think that it is a major bug in the engine.
