In 1.13 the field ipb_by_text was added to the database. But I have not found a population script for this. That means the field is empty for old infinity blocks at least on wmf wikis.
Please write a population script and at it to the updater.
Thanks.

Closing as invalid.
As far as a I can see, even the oldest block on enwiki (id 1623), blocked back in 2004 is populated. I'm guessing this has been fixed up at some point.
No need to do this then :)
Ok, this was only a guess, because I have not an so old wiki and have not found any thing about a population inside trunk, but when the oldest block on enwiki has the field set, than all is ok.
Thanks for looking at the database.
