In the future, please leave on the part of the warning message which
includes that it happened in lib/RT/Tickets.pm with a line number, it
saves time.

$Tickets->LimitCustomField is used infrequently (unused in core on
Tickets).
Is there a reason you're not using TicketSQL (what's visible in the
Query Builder when you build a query?)

$tickets->FromSQL("CF.{Foo} = 'i$generic_id');
possible with a "And Queue = '$queue'" in there or if you don't want
to limit on Queue, you can use CF.83.{Foo}.

The problem is that passing QUEUE to LimitCustomField is undocumented
and as a result poorly supported by the code that deciphers custom
field names.  However, without digging deeper, I don't know that
CustomFieldDecipher of LimitCustomField needs the bugfix.
