It seems quite common for bugs to be reported after they have been fixed in R-devel. This is likely to occur when-- as in the 'getAnywhere' case-- there's no record of the bug in Bug Tracking (I do check before submitting). Checking R-devel news can be cumbersome-- I couldn't reach the ftp site yesterday, for example, and it's not always feasible to download 12MB-- and many users won't be set up to handle it. To avoid wasting R-core's time over repeat posts, is there some mileage in R-core adding "fixed in Rdevel" bug reports into the Bug Tracking system, even if there is no prior bug report?
