Just one comment, a question that I had several times when reading such 
reports.
Don't know if this applies here, but:
A regression is something that doesn't work in a later version and that 
has _deliberately_ worked in a previous version. I.e. something that has 
once been fixed to work in that specific way.
If it just was correct and isn't anymore, it isn't considered a 
regression but just a newly introduced bug.
