If I were reporting a bug with Emacs going to the wrong column, I
think the minimum effort I should put in is to search for reports with
"column" in the subject. I personally think that's a fair expectation,
but if you disagree with that I'm not going to be able to change your
mind.
For an obvious problem with the development version, then personally I
would also wait a couple of days before making a report.
Clearly duplicates will still occur and will need to be merged; it's
not a big deal and I certainly don't want to discourage people from
making bug reports.
