In theory that will work. In practice, it's a waste of time for 
everyone to file duplicate bug reports of problems (like this one) 
that are already well-known and have been acknowledged many times on 
this list by developers and Apple engineers.

The underlying problem is that there's no way for a 3rd party 
developer to find the Radar bug number of a problem without filing 
their own duplicate of it and waiting for it to come back marked as a 
dup.

I can also imagine some scalability problems with Apple developer 
support having to manually answer every developer email asking about a 
bug-fix...
