Probably because it occurs rather seldom, but if it does, it can cause
quite some issues.

Indeed. We only ran into it once. At least there was only once such
incident at our department I'm aware of.

It's not a security problem on the machine, but it caused an security
incident here, because an e-journal provider filed an abuse complaint
at our department and I had to take the affected machine offline until
it was clear that this is "just" a bug and not a malicious (read
"DoS") attack.
So this bug can definitely cause effects that look like a DoS attack
to others.

"Incomplete" is ok-ish IMHO. Nevertheless, I'd prefer to keep that bug
open at least until precise is gone, too.
