I don't see how what you show fixes the bug in any
sense at all.  If the bug can't be fixed now, or no
one has the energy or motivation to fix it now, that
doesn't change the fact that the bug exists.

It's not fixed, IMO.  Your options, as I see it, are
(1) close as "won't fix" or (2) leave it open, in
hopes that someone, at some time, will find the will
and a way to fix it, and will do so.

My preference is almost always for #2.  Closing bugs
just to close bugs doesn't improve anything (IMO).
But it's your call, not mine.  I just don't agree
that the bug is fixed (based on what you showed), at
all.
