Generally speaking.. (but obviously not in this case, because the maintainer
specifically said otherwise) if the bug is no longer reproducable in -current..
we close the bug.

however..  if the bug isn't reproducable because the test given in the PR is
poor, and you have a better test that reproduces it.. you should add that test
to the body of the PR, for future use by someone who might want to fix the PR. 
IE: the base problem still exists, it's just not documented well.
