I guess then that r126039 is the oldest that 1.8.3 could be. The next nightly tarball from webkit.org after r126039 was r126278 on 22nd August, which also contains the change i.e. it looks like the 1.8.3 tarball is somewhere between r126039 (20/8) and r126278 (22/8).

We branch for the stable release and then cherry-pick important fixes
into the branch. One way to see the initial branching point and to see
changes that we plan to merge or have merged into those releases is by
looking at stable release wiki page. For instance, for 1.8.x just look
here:
