Interesting.  In the context of this bug, and given Paul Eggert's
comments earlier, do we still want to fix this?  It's been documented
in etc/PROBLEMS and is fixed by an upgrade to 10.10.

IMHO, this bug is so minor that it's not worth spending time on at
this point.  Does anyone object to closing this as wontfix?  Is that
against our policy since we still technically support 10.6 through
10.9?
