I find that question hard to address (isn't the "bug fix or not", and of
course _your_ and other maintainers' personal definition of "bug fix"
and "urgent" precisely the crucial factors for answering it?).

Personally I don't see any reason not to consider behaviours observed in
both bug reports bugs, but "urgent" certainly sounds more dramatic than
I feel about it. IOW, I don't feel strongly about having to have this in
27, especially in case of any doubts on maintainers' part.
