kyum bug - mangling the livna repo file

I'm running KDE 3.5 RC1 and have just noticed what I think is a bug. This is 
the report I filed with bugzilla. Is anyone here using kyum and KDE 3.5? 
Could you confirm this:

When activating the testing section of the Livna repo,
the repo file is mangled. This is my livna.repo file:

[livna]
name=Livna for Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Base
baseurl=
http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/RPMS.lvn
http://livna.cat.pdx.edu/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/RPMS.lvn
http://wftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/livna/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/RPMS.lvn
http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/rpm.livna.org/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/RPMS.lvn
failovermethod=priority
#mirrorlist=http://rpm.livna.org/mirrorlist
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-livna


[livna-testing]
name=Livna for Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch -
Testing
baseurl=
http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/RPMS.lvn-testing
http://livna.cat.pdx.edu/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/RPMS.lvn-testing
http://wftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/livna/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/RPMS.lvn-testing
http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/rpm.livna.org/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/RPMS.lvn-testing
failovermethod=priority
#mirrorlist=http://rpm.livna.org/mirrorlist-testing
enabled=0
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-livna

As is seen, Livna-testing is not enabled.
If I enable it in kyum, I get a fail to find repo error, and
opening the file yields the following:

[livna]
name=Livna for Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Base
failovermethod=priority
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-livna

[livna-testing]
name=Livna for Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch -
Testing
failovermethod=priority
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-livna

If I don't enable the testing repo, the access of livna
is successful. I tested the same livna.repo file with
Yumex, and it didn't have any problem with the file,
and enabling testing didn't produce errors or a mangled
repo file. It appears that enabling the testing section causes a rewrite of 
the file and the file is being mangled in the process. The bug is already 
filed with kyum.
