Well, it's not as if it's a bug of GnuCash. This is a deliberate
decision used to ensure backwards compatibility with older versions of
GnuCash. So a bug report wouldn't really do good anything at all
("Please remove your backwards compatibility feature, it annoys me and I
only use recent versions anyways").

Kind regards,
Johannes
