Ah, great! I was working on this same bug because my ppa script kept
failing due to the wrong tag being used. Using the min(changesets) with
tie-breaker as the date was the exact route I was going to go. So,
thanks for saving me the trouble :-)

Queued for stable (It seems that information was lost in phabricator?
Thanks to Martin for letting me know on IRC)!
