Yes - this seems like a long-standing bug. :/

Perhaps this can be addressed simultaneously with bug 1116478.

The severity field for this bug is relatively low, S3. However, the bug has 3 duplicates.
:dao, could you consider increasing the bug severity?

The last needinfo from me was triggered in error by recent activity on the bug. I'm clearing the needinfo since this is a very old bug and I don't know if it's still relevant.
