I think the significant commit is this one

commit 97828cef4d4cd22b548b8ec430d2e0e28ea8ae8c
Author: Rafael Garcia-Suarez <rgarciasuarez@gmail.com>

which changes from this:

$ ./miniperl -we 'close STDOUT; open FOO, "< /dev/null" or die $!; <FOO>; <FOO>'
Filehandle STDOUT opened only for input at -e line 1.

to this:

$ ./miniperl -we 'close STDOUT; open FOO, "< /dev/null" or die $!; <FOO>; <FOO>'
Filehandle STDOUT reopened as FOO only for input at -e line 1.


and was merged to maint-5.8 in time for 5.8.1 (hence why 5.8.9 RC1 doesn't
show it)

Yes, I think that the underlying problem of the original report is now
resolved.
