Yes, occasional bugs do make it to the testing release. If you want
stable, you know where to find it.
What I find irritating about this particular bug (and the X quote
problem) is that it was reported in unstable, and only made it to
testing because the package maintainer lowered the priority of the
bug. See the bug tracking system for details.
I think this is fixed in kernel 2.4.12, which also has security fixes,
so the bug shouldn't stay around to haunt woody when it becomes
stable.
