A regression.  If 884 created good output in 2.12, then by all
means point this out and it'll be re-categorized.

Note that even truly embarrassing mistakes are not Critical --
those are High.  I wouldn't call 884 "truly embarrassing", though.
At least, not in comparison to various other longstanding bugs.
(are you starting to understand why I'm so short-tempered when
people talk about grand new features and the like?)
