I believe the bug existed in Sun Grid Engine for many years, and really only a few use the qmon GUI (and we prioritize our bug fixing effort based on many factors, and the number of people who complain to us is one of them). I always recommend people to use the command line interface as it is in fact easier, and works over an SSH session. In fact I recall Chris from the Bioteam also has similar recommendations as well! Another thing is that there are very limited ways to test GUI programs. A few months ago I attended an IBM Rational Functional Tester workshop, and the product suite has GUI testing automation. Keep in mind that even if the IBM product is free, GUIs are always harder to test than command line interface programs. (On a related note, IBM test suite seems to be focusing more on REST-based applications than the traditional X11 GUIs programs.)
