Yes, there's a Qt bug:
  https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-41729

I've planned to work on it, but until now had "better" things to do ;)

Feel free to pick it up, and fix it properly inside Qt. A patch is likely be 
accepted, even if it changes the outcome of the toDisplayString method.

Cheers,
Kevin
