I have been recently hit by this. In my experience this patch would be
perfectly fine for a Jessie point release. I haven't seen anything
regarding a mutt stable update, have I missed anything?

I have prepared a stable update on top of the jessie-updates git branch
and verified that it fixes this problem (see attached git patch)

If you agree, but don't have time to discuss this with the release-team
I'm willing to do this on your behalf.
