In this case, for a genuine problem, you did the right thing by submitting a PR - this way the fix progress can be tracked using the GNATS PR database. A patch was not needed for this particular case, indeed, but in general, reports for not-so-trivial problems are much more likely to be handled quickly if they contain patches :) Of course, PR's without patches are not taken any less seriously, it's just that they may be delayed a bit, until somebody figures out exactly what the problem is and how to fix it.
