When you say "on all architectures but ia64" do you mean this is true for the
generic kernel or is this Debian specific? On OpenSUSE x86 10.0 I get ERANGE.
I do not see why glibc should put in a patch to work around a bug in the kernel.
This bug should be fixed in the kernel only. If glibc put in a workaround for
every simple kernel bug which code be fixed the code would quickly become
unmanageable.
