VC problem with branches

In GNU Emacs 19.22.3 of Fri Mar 18 1994 on jacobi (berkeley-unix)
Along with RCS revision available on prep i.e. rcs-5.6.0.1.tar.gz

VC does not work correctly when there are RCS branches:

We  have a main trunk and at rev 1.68 I created a branch rev 1.68.1.1 and
took a lock on 1.68.1.2 in order to make some changes while my
collegue was working and had locked 1.69.
So the base file contained something like:
....
locks: strict
	sb: 1.69
	ddw: 1.68.1.2
access list:
.... to describe the current locks.

Neither of us could then do a proper operation using C-XC-Q it kept
asking us whether we want to steal the lock on revision number: nil.

I was able to recover by doing the ci's by hand. But this makes the
mode usable one person per file and no more even when there are
branches. Somewhat annoying...

Is there a fix for this in a newer release or somewhere else?

Thanks a lot,
D.
