I don't know how to draw more attention to this bug but I would say that I'd classify it as serious. Emacs ends up silently consuming memory in the background until the out of memory killer is triggered. And the OOM killer doesn't always kill emacs, it sometimes kills other long running processes which can lead to data loss. I have to work on machines on LTS and I'd really appreciate this patch being applied in lucid-updates.
