Looks like you've already done the hard yards in searching bgo.  If you
can't find the bug, then chances are it doesn't exist there yet.

If you make a new bug, and provide the patches and upstream bug links,
then either it'll be accepted, or marked as a duplicate of the bug you
couldn't find.  In either case it's worth it to get the problem
resolved, IMHO.
