That one's on the edge for me. It's trying to work around a bug somewhere that has caused data loss in prod. So I would lean towards it being a bug fix.
However pulling from my last few filed jiras I would say these are all improvements: HBASE-15166 HBASE-15146 HBASE-15137 HBASE-15083 Some of them fixed things that we hit in production but they didn't change correctness or cause the system to be un-usable in the normal case. So I would classify them as improvements. For me I would want to backport only for patch releases fixes that fixed severe issues, things that changed correctness or caused a system to be un-usable.
