I hope you mean only the Dictionary>>at:put: and
WeakKeyDictionary>>associationsDo: fixes, correct?

I'm puzzled how these made it into 3.9 in the first place.  I don't recall ever
submitting them to Mantis, but since they accidently found their way into 3.9
it finally forced the discussion I had wanted to have about them 15 months ago.

The community concensus seems to indicate neither are bugs, so I have adjusted
my programs to live with or without them.  Magma is good to go either way.

Thanks Stéphane..
