Possible regression between 0.10.16 and 0.10.17 related to libuv patch

gistfile1.txt
Running watch.js on node 0.10.17 and OS X 10.8.5 gives the following when editing (in Sublime Text) and saving file in the same directory:
change : a.txt
rename : .subl319.tmp
change : a.txt
rename : .subl69d.tmp
etc...
Doing the same on 0.10.18 gives:
rename : .subl738.tmp
rename : .sublade.tmp
The same issue occurs between 0.11.6 and 0.11.7. Based on the commit log I think it's related to the following change in libuv:

watch.js
var fs = require('fs');
fs.watch(__dirname, function (evt, filename) {
console.log(evt + ' : ' + filename);
})

Turns out this was "fixed" when libuv 0.10.18 was rolled into node 0.10.21
