It depends on whether you want to vent (in which case, posting to the 
list is okay) or get it fixed (in which case, only a Bugzilla report 
will do.) The engineers don't read the list to find bugs. They only look 
for bugs in Bugzilla. If your report isn't in there, they won't know 
about it.

A quick scan shows 2583 bugs fixed or resolved. That seems like more 
than "nothing". The most recent release, version 2.8, fixed over 50 IDE 
bugs and several engine bugs.

Note that 2.8 is an interim release, primarily intended to help 
developers build for their customers who use Vista. The next release is 
intended as a huge bug fix release, and getting your report into 
Bugzilla now will give it a better chance of inclusion when the big 
bug-bust happens.

You should probably mark your report as a documentation bug, as the 
functionality most likely won't change. It's been in use for many years, 
and is well established usage in lots of stacks.
