You didn't include a link to the bug, so the information really isn't there.

And a 'fully updated' system assumes your chosen mirror is completely in sync
with whichever mirror someone else NOT seeing that issue has chosen, which is
not a safe assumption.  At the same time, it frequently happens that packages
can be pulled OUT of rawhide due to problems, and you may have the version which
has already disappeared while reporting an issue to the list... until people ask
you or go do the bug search / repo listing themselves they won't know what
you've got, so they can't help you fix it.

Including a version of effected packages is ALWAYS helpful and very rarely not
needed.  I don't care to argue over how you choose to report issues to the list,
but thats just not being as thorough as you could be.
