+1 provided it is used as a last resort, after:

* making sure the issue is not present in the latest release
* making sure there aren't any automated tests failing for the same 
reason (-> devs are already notified)
* asking on IRC or mailing list if there were recent changes to the 
module affected by the issue (-> comment on existing issue)
