For RHEL, no, they'll do a lot more than that if it's covered by the
support contract.  That's the business model: if they were just
providing the integration testing, Centos would eat their lunch.

Otherwise, depends on how many/how important the affected customers
are.  I'd guess it's very unlikely that something they'd consider
worth fixing would arise.
