My understanding is they still didn't fix it entirely.  The current 
cocoa implementation is extremely difficult to maintain.  I'd really 
like to see it deprecated in favor of SDL (knowing that SDL doesn't work 
on 64-bit OS X--but does that even exist today?).

I'm okay with that too.  Just have the appropriate person resubmit.
