In this case, I think I just did the wrong thing. In discussing with
Amy, I realized that what I should have done for each of these bugs
where there was only a paper-over fix in Wafflecone and I wanted to
leave the bug open for a real fix in FriedTwinkie is to have split
the bug so that I could close it in Waffle and leave it open in
FriedTwinkie. It was just wrong of me to try to make one Jira item
cover both of those cases.
Amy said she will split the bugs and clean up the mess I made.
Thanks, Amy!

Ok, I think I see what your intent is with the 'p is null' --
there is a work-around for Wafflecone but the bug still needs to
be really fixed in 4.1.
I think this all goes back to the problem with the 'Fix Version'
field being used to say 'we want a fix for this in this version'
and 'we have a fix for this version', depending on the state of
the bug. If there were a way to split this field it would be
really nice...

Careful here: You seem to have marked a number of bugs that are
open for 4.1 as open for Wafflecone. These bugs were triaged out
to 4.1 as they were seen as not critical and a workaround was
made in Wafflecone.
For instance, 4620 is a real fix for a bug that was papered over
in Wafflecone (I already reverted that and commented).
All the 'p is null' bugs are real bugs that need to be
investigated, the paper-over in Wafflecone is that we reduced the
WARNING to an INFO and made it possible to silence the INFO
messages. So the bugs should be targeted for 4.1, not Wafflecone.
I have not looked at this whole list to see if there are other
bugs that fall in this category.

Generating release notes is educational. It reveals places where
our several interlocking systems disagree. There are around 30
bugs which have fixes included in wafflecone but were not marked
as fix-version wafflecone. They got to this state in several ways:
1) The fixes were checked into wafflecone but not marked in jira
as fix-version wafflecone.
2) The fixes were checked in to legals and then merged to
wafflecone. I should have marked the bugs as fix-version
wafflecone when I merged them.
Fixes checked into wafflecone but not marked in jira as fix-

version wafflecone:
2111 Horrendously inefficient looping in layout classes!!
4357 getMouse returns absolute coordinates in DHTML + FF
4582 YouTube demo not working due to changes of Youtube.com FLV
url pattern
4120 LzTrack interferes w/ window drag w/ FF DHTML
I have just marked all of the above as fix-version wafflecone.
....
There are two bugs whose presence in the checkin log does not
mean that they were fixed in wafflecone:
4046 DHTML embedding should respect passed in values, instead
of the canvas values -- this was unblocked, then blocked, and
does not look like it ended up in wafflecone.
4451 - incorrectly mentioned in checkin for another bug!
....
These bugs are marked as retestbranch, and they are not picked
up by the jira release-note generator. I must make sure these
get into the wafflecone release notes as "fixed":
4347 baserichedittext-test.lzx fails (marked as retestbranch)
4348 rich-text: formatfontsize test fails
4352 scrollrichedittext can't create scrollbar
