I understand from the above that you agree that it has been determined
that this is broken by inspection(and some cursory testing).
Surely it's not necessary to reproducability steps any more than
e.g. fresh regression testing cases for code that it is agreed is
broken by inspection?
I'll open a bugzilla report for this problem if there is consensus that
this should be fixed and that it can be agreed upon that it is broken.
In terms of testcase/reproducability, I'd go for a JUnit(or equivalent) test
for something like this. I don't know how to formulate such a test.
