 * Fixed in WP SEO Trunk, for reference, this was [the bug on GitHub](https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/issues/2304),
   [this is the commit](https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/commit/5650c00ded1f864a9d0233875d52353c2735b42a)
   that fixed it.

 * So can a user update without fear and the update will resolve the issue.
 * Secondly out of curiosity, are things like this not tested ?
