Yes, there are in fact a lot more reports of Inkscape crashing due to this issue.
While those are typically packaging issues (like the one you linked) or due to conflicting software (like bug #1662293, bug #1697681 and bug #1709729) the intention of this bug is to acknowledge that Inkscape does not handle this case gracefully and should do a better job at handling the situation (and probably also at informing the user).
While we could close most of these as invalid for the Inkscape project I think the frequency of those bugs (and the fact that they are often hard to debug) warrant an improvement in Inkscape itself.
