I'm not sure where those patches came from, but they are patches. In a
patch, we try to fix the bug with the minimum amount of change. Often
they are superficial, "quick-and-dirty" fixes. In a new release, we try
to fix the bug properly; amount of change is not a main metric.

For instance, for that first bug you mentioned, we reorganized a good
amount of code in the code generator; see [1].

You can also run the given examples and see what happens.
