Actually that will be the best decision from evolutional point of view.
Bugs, which 'are thrown back to your face' like what you did with this one, are useless. Developers already know, that bugs exist.
If you do not care about bug, why do you ever bothered filling it? You expected that anyone will start running to fix it for you. You were wrong. Developers only fix bugs, which do not require mind-reading and magnetic quantification of your brain.
If you do not want to help fixing it, do not expect it will be fixed at all. Sentence, that you will probably understand better: no one get paid to fix it.
No one get fun fixing something with description you provided (not sure about David though, probably he has some masochistic propensities doing that and trying to get some bits of information from reportes for years). You were suggested some simple checks, they did not help. Developers can not remotely control electrons in your wires, so next sugestion was bisecting, which ended up with some crap from your point.
If you want bug got fixed, provide info and if it is not enough, help by trying what you are being suggested, if you do not want, stop.
