Yes, thanks for pointing that out.  I have closed that PR.

To be clear: The "letsencrypt/acme-spec" repo is still open for the
moment, but at this point, the only changes being accepted are minor
clarifications or critical fixes.  (Once Let's Encrypt gets stable, I
expect that repo to close down and any deltas against -04 to be
proposed against the IETF document.)  Since there's an
implementation-side fix for this issue (using the proper account key),
this is not a critical fix.

Anything novel needs to be discussed on this list and done in the IETF
repo, as you note.
