Looks like you've already done the hard yards in searching bgo. If you can't find the bug, then chances are it doesn't exist there yet. If you make a new bug, and provide the patches and upstream bug links, then either it'll be accepted, or marked as a duplicate of the bug you couldn't find. In either case it's worth it to get the problem resolved, IMHO.
