I think your fundamentally wrong here. Application developers should
not debug the underlying framework. I even consider it unprofessional
and a waste of resources (unless you are developing for the
framework). I observed what seems to be an important anomaly and I
have made reasonable effort to prove it in the form of a bug report.
So regardless of any speculation of what experts might think, this is
as far as I'm willing to go. You are welcome to apply "rigorous
analysis" and take the credit, if you think there might be merit
here ... given your opinion.

Least of my concerns :) As noted above I found a solution that I'm
comfortable with and shared it in detail (which is way more than I got
in any response to any question).
It's up to the framework guys to decided how to move forward with
this...
