In this particular case, the issue was apparently transient (fixed in
unstable). The only problem is that "unreproducible" should not be
used to "imply" that. To declare that the problem is fixed in unstable
and the fix will eventually propagate to testing, we already have the
"closed" status (with which I don't have any problem, only about using
the tag against its definition).

Thanks.
