The frontends are checking for the hash of the files and will prefent
installing broken ones. I agree this should be fixed but it's not going
to happen on normal conditions with users using a frontend, and as such
I don't think it's grave.

There's no reason to file a new bug report for the same issue, if you
want to discuss the severity of the old bug report or add new
information (which is not the case here), you can of course send a
mail to that existing bug report.
