Since you say this is an already known issue, I think that means I can 
be excused from trying to figure out how to submit a bug report on it 
(which I was dutifully going to try to do, based on the suggestions that 
several others here have made).  I remain curious, however:  Is it a 
known issue for which a correction to gnat is planned? Or is it planned 
to leave it forever as a "known oddity"?  Or is the question as to 
whether or not to correct it still under debate somewhere?  I have no 
particular axe to grind here, just pure curiosity.
