It's not really a Launchpad thing.

The confusion becomes because there's a tendancy for users to classify
bugs by their symptoms ("black screen", "big loud noise", etc.) -
whereas developers classify bugs by the cause.

While these two bugs have the same apparent symptom, the cause is
actually quite different.

In fact, I'm now convinced there are *three* bugs; two of which have
been fixed. You have the third.
