If so, it must have been silently fixed recently.
The problem with the way changelogs entries are written is that they
never mention the bug they fix; comments like "New variable", "new
function", "use it" and so on are just not enough for anyone to
understand the fix.
I think this is quite annoying from an external sight since people
have to guess with respect to their knowledge of Emacs source files.
(especially when you have to backport fixes).
Cheers,
