Language dropdown should only show published nodes

Unpublished translations are showing up in our dropdown, which leads anonymous users to a 404 page. Idealy these nodes would not appear in the dropdown as they are not ready for public consumption.

We've fixed it by adding the following code:

  // Now we iterate on $languages to build the needed options for the select element.
  foreach ($languages->links as $lang_code => $lang_options) {
		
		
    //Patch - start
    //this keeps unpublished nodes from showing in the dropdown
    if(!empty($lang_options['href'])){
      $node = menu_get_item($lang_options['href']);
      if($node['map'][1]->status == 0){
        continue;
      }
    }    
    // end patch

Any chance of a patch?

Thanks! (Lovely little module.)
