The upstream bugzilla that made the change you referenced is this one:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=684909

and the actual patch is:

http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=initscripts.git;a=commitdiff;h=eb389d68f4637418983e4b514a67eb84cf2f4d7b

I think you should file a bug report upstream because CentOS makes
modifications only by inheriting the upstream (RH) code.
