Yes indeed.

I try to pay attention to "this is broken because..."  comments in
discussions to make a note in my copy of "What's cooking" report for
a problematic topic, as that is where I work from when merging
topics down, but apparently that procedure failed work in this case.
There needs a stronger mechanism to stop a known-buggy patch from
going thru, but I am not sure offhand what that should be.
