I do get moderately annoyed by having to write code that's fundamentally a workaround for somebody else's failure, though I usually still do it anyway. Sometimes I do so but add something to the stderr output referencing the issue number I'm compensating for - that has a surprisingly good rate of getting somebody who knows what they're doing looking at the issue in the other project and submitting a patch.
