Due to my shortcomings in record-keeping of this bug and how I was led to file it, I too cannot see any good reason to pursue this further. I agree with you to clear the bug report as user error.
Also, I will try to be less confrontational and I am very grateful for Ubuntu and all your good help. Perhaps I was looking at some of the old bug reports filed on the Debian side which confirmed my concern for this bug.
