No only if this is the only bug there. And even then -1 is
questionable ... you should just not that in the bug.
-1 means "pushing this update is harmful" not fixing a bug is not.

It might have 5 bug fixes where one of the fix does not fix the
problem. What do we gain by not pushing it?

-1 for "does not fix a bug that is present in the current release" is
in 99.99% of the cases nonsense.
