You could probably work around this by over-riding the parameter
request list trivially (and generically for all clients);

  option dhcp-parameter-request-list = concat(1, 3,
				option dhcp-parameter-request-list);

This enforces that the subnet-mask and routers options appear in the
PRL that reaches the buggy code in that order; subnet-mask first, and
should get you through until the next release.
