This is an unrelated question rather than a bug complaint. There is this game Thief II, you have fixed the missing stars. dgVoodoo2 also had a regression due to which the stars went missing in 2.78 but remained till 2.77.
So, my question is, what was the thing that was needed to be added/fixed to make the stars visible. I am asking because the myth surrounding this issue isn't clear, the blame going from unsupported mipmap sizes to palettized textures. In this thread, I think they discovered that the stars render on only Nvidia Riva cards and nothing later, so this created confusion and people still don't know what kills the stars. I think you will be able to answer this technical problem associated with this missing texture.
