Right, this is a bug in 2.3.1.

There is no such problem in 3.1.0 -- the constructor has string as
a base. The part of code that handles this in 3.1.0 is quite a bit
different compared to 2.3.1 so there is not way to backport anything
from 3.1.0. I've come up with a patch for 2.3.1 that should fix the
problem:

I haven't tested it (don't have the 2.3.1 dependencies built) but
I am pretty sure it works. If it doesn't then let me know and I
will build everything and take a look.
