Marc,

I may be old-fashioned, but I would definitely report it. There are at
least two reasons for this recommedation.

- It appears to be incorrect, and it will never get fixed if it is not
reported.
- A bug report and a case number are a good answer for the inevitable
auditor question: Why did you do this? In this case, the answer is: We
reported the bug, and implemented a workaround until the problem is
corrected.
