Yes, it in fact solves the problem.  I builded an inofficial Debian
package with this patch and filed a bug report about it.

I'm currently only reading latex-beamer mailing list because I'm
mostly focussed on this list.  On the other hand I have two
remaining questions:

    1. If \pgfnodeconncurve seems to be outdated, what is the
       suggested alternative?
    2. How can I build the PGF manual?

Kind regards and thanks for your great presentation tools
