If the bug was fixed upstream since then (== is not present in
Wheezy), then I agree, the effort is not worth it, let's forget
about it.

If the bug is still present in Wheezy, then I still think we should
report it to Debian and/or GNOME, and contribute our existing patch.
Perhaps they'll ignore it, but at least, let's make upstream aware of
the problem and possible solution.
Our contribute/relationship_with_upstream page contains plenty of
reasons to do.

My look at the code was right: everything is different.

Except there is yet another bug in the code affecting internal links...
See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=686095 for details.

That patch also applies to the version currently in Wheezy.

 1. Congrats!
 2. Please open a ticket about upstreaming this fix.

I don't see the need:

 * GNOME documentation is not affected as far as I have seen,
 * Yelp has been heavily rewritten since Squeeze. I have not tested,
   but I doubt the bug is still in the version in Wheezy.

What we could do is to try to push a fix in the next Debian Squeeze
point release, but I don't think the bug is severe enough, as it does
not show up when browsing GNOME documentation.

I'd be happy to be convinced otherwise, though.
