Please see https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/229099/ and https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/229100/ for the change to master and the currently deployed branch. This will be merged and back ported today and a new dump created
I'm also going to follow this up by writing some more integration tests for our json dumps to spot this kind of thing!
