And this is exactly why I think that tickets involving sagenb should NOT be 
closed until it is clear that the changes are in upstream or even when that 
upstream is merged.  We don't do this for bugs in Maxima; why would we 
change the policy for sagenb, if it's truly "upstream"?  See for instance 
the recently opened http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/13625 - 
should we close it now that ppurka reported it upstream?  Of course not.

In this case, Timo actually made a branch and so forth, but reading the 
github stuff it seems like there was quite a bit of other action, and even 
though it "turned out" that the problem was in the Sage library, this 
easily could have gotten lost.  Until things are fixed upstream and we've 
gotten it into Sage, let's not close tickets saying they are invalid.
