Thanks.

I think a new bug is better, indeed:

It takes significant effort to sift through a bug like this one to
uncover that it's not, in fact, about "[PATCH] Document .elpaignore
behavior in the Emacs Lisp manual", but about some other related yet
distinct change.

It's fine to have one or two such bugs, but we have many hundreds.  This
makes using and maintaining the bug tracker harder than it needs to be.
