In fact, that bug was for the particular case of wrapped symbol used as property key. For the more general case of converting a Symbol wrapper object back into a primitive value, I believe that behaviour also changed during the life in the spec draft, but I am too lazy to find when. (Note that the current draft defines Symbol.prototype[@@toPrimitive], and AFAIK, V8 doesn't implement @@toPrimitive yet.)
