?  It is?  I don't know the problem I'm seeing is only relevant to the *nix
version of the source (since I have no other platforms to test on), and my
impression was that this was the reasoning for the wording of the FAQ.

The point is, I'm just a dumb end user - I am in no position to say the
bugreporting FAQ is invalid in this case, since no wording is present to
suggest it only applies in the case of binary or source releases.  If this
isn't true, fix the FAQ.

Warning: IANAL.
