 I bet they are :-)

 I think we are all aware of this and agree that it is a bug. Given limited 
 resources in a volunteer project, it seems as if just nobody ever got 
 around to fixing this. You are invited to generate a patch!

 There's a button "Send mail to interested parties" in GNATS, that allows 
 you to attach a note to an existing report.
 
 I would suggest the following: Can you please send a brief summary of this 
 bug report to the audit trail of one of the other two PRs you cite (the 
 one that matches best)? I'll close this one, since there is really no good 
 reason to force those who can fix bugs to search through the entire 
 database.
