This depends... where there any conflictors involved in the
edit-the-line number stage?  Editing conflictors is rather tricky
business so there may be a risk of accidentally introducing a red
herring for #1.  If no herrings are involved then it might make
sense to open a new bug for #1.  Otherwise, the best is to ensure
that your edits manage to preserve the 'Irrefutable pattern'
message.

Thanks!
