not exactly, 4.2 has a different codebase, so fixed in HEAD do not apply
to 4.1.x
the currently stable branch is 4.1 and debian etch still uses 4.1.3
so it's not always possible to upgrade, I suggest (if my small patch has
no side effects)
to apply to next 4.1.x when it will be out, tough no urgent

if I understand the code, the bug will apply to all text/* attachments
that are in base64
since

case 'text':
...
will never leave the encoding to base64
