It is great news that my patch worked for you!  However, patches
affecting everyone through rc.subr should be tested by much wider
audience than the two of us can provide.  Hence I'm afraid it is
too late to push the patch into 6.0-RELEASE, especially given that
there will be no 6.0-RC2.  I'd like to merge the patch to RELENG_6
soon after the release is out, so stay tuned :-)
