Try describing the bug as part of a frequent/important use case.  The
description you posted is so convoluted and full of invoking special
functions that it's hard to realize why it is a severe bug that needs
to be fixed ASAP.  That other users didn't report anything like that,
and no one chimed in to say "me too", the impression of the bug being
specific to your setup or usage patterns is reinforced.
