While this is a bug in microtype and while there is an easy workaround, I think it still makes sense to discuss whether a TL freeze at this very moment is indeed a smart decision. Many documents will break because of this bug and I am not sure whether it is wise to freeze TL exactly at a point where such a prominent bug appears.

I have no idea how long it will take until microtype is updated, but it might make sense to wait a few days before TL18 is frozen.
