Guys I'm going to hazard a guess that the staff agrees with the classic evidence, but that this NPC has some very unique behavior (read: requires lots of special coding to get right), and they have much bigger fish they could use that same amount of time to fry.
I'm not saying not to bump (if they didn't want you to they'd say so themselves). I'm just saying that thinking like a dev, if it was me I would do this sort of bug in a "last round of fixes after all the 'real' work is done" patch ... and no amount of bumps would make me stop working on other bugs to sink a huge amount of time into this one NPC (and I say this to maybe save y'all the time and trouble of bumping).
