On the contrary; you may certainly file a bug, even if the problem
appears only in amd64.

The next version that I upload should be from the 2.4 series. If the fix
is a self-contained patch against the latest 2.4 release, I'm quite prepared
to apply it to the uploaded version.
When you file a bug, it would be helpful if you can dig out the patch
and append it. Doing so will greatly increase the probability of the
bug being fixed ;-)

Sarge is now officially "frozen" so no new coin package will be in sarge,
unfortunately.
