Certainly.  It serves as a textbook example of inadequate
software porting due to insufficient understanding of the
differences between the source and target environments.
Once the defect in the port is revealed, it serves as a
textbook example of inadequate ported software support
that has to inquire of the source maintainers if the
misbehavior in the ported environment is also present in
the source environment (I am reluctant to suggest they
believed the responsibility of remediation lies with the
source maintainers).  Once again: Plan 9 is not UNIX--
porters in either direction, beware.
