   CScript::ExtractAddress is expected to return false for unknown transactions, but instead returns gibberish, at least partly due to detection of the “change” script.

   Has this ever been fixed?

   No, I still see its results in listtransactions.

   BTW, this manifests in listtransactions as “address” : “1Wh4bh”,

   Update: ExtractDestination seems to return the correct values, but listtransactions still shows the gibberish. Maybe related to #1848
