Christopher:
  Please carefully read the upstream bug that Gabriel has referenced, it includes a fix that he references in #10

I don't see how this bug with a specified upstream fix is an 'unhelpful "catch all"', given it's got an upstream fix I'd say it's pretty
close to triaged if Gabriel confirms that the upstream which includes this patch now fixes the problem.
