No, I don't believe there is an upstream bug log, but I can do one better. I just read Linus' release note for 2.6.35-rc2 and I came across this:

...
Tejun Heo (5):
     sata_via: magic vt6421 fix for transmission problems w/ WD drives
     sata_nv: don't diddle with nIEN on mcp55
     SCSI: implement sd_unlock_native_capacity()
     libata: use the enlarged capacity after late HPA unlock
     libata: implement on-demand HPA unlocking
...

That second line is the patch I mentioned in comment #26, so it looks like this fix will be part of 2.6.35 and a recent announcement stated that that will be Maverick's kernel version.
