patch releases are the third number (e.g. the "1" in "3.43.1"). The comment says nothing about it not qualifying as work to be done for a minor release (e.g. the "43" in "3.43"). If the bug is closed, and you still see it happening, file a new bug with a reproducible example so that the maintainers know it's (still) happening. And if that example means setting up a small dedicate repo with enough data to show the problem off, that's probably worth doing.
