The problem is not that the LSB can't handle bug reports; the problem is
that the LSB is in the middle of getting out a release, and is thus
loath to rock the boat for a problem that only appears to affect a
minority of systems so far.

I can't argue with your conclusion.  OTOH, there is a possibility that
this will make it impossible for Debian to certify to the LSB in the
near future.  That may make a difference to some, or it may not.

I will report on feedback from the LSB.
