Not yet, I'll prepare patch for development branch later this week.
The problem is less likely to manifest in 1.7 and later since
the Padlock assembly function is no longer inlined to bulk AES
functions (in this case CFB). This is because as Padlock function
has moved to separate sourcefile and behind indirect function
call, so compiler is much less likely to generate code that
break.
