Well, OK, I agree to reopen that bug. But, in that case, please help
submitting the *right* bug report upstream.

It's not like it's enough to say "it's still a bug" or "this should be
reported upstream". It would be very good if someone with enough
skills and knowledge about the issue takes care to write down a bug
report targetted at upstream....and then link this bug to that bug report.
