The ‘fix’ that’s listed on that changeset has nothing to do with removing the brackets. It’s completely unrelated.

One other option for the meantime, which I’ve employed on my old site is replace the brackets with LI list elements to make an ordered or unordered list (style away) of the options. You can float this list or display it inline to make it look exactly the same, or if you would prefer, go to town and make it look snazzy.
