The recent fix for the AMD FXSAVE information leak had a problematic

It's a non issue because it affects all AMD CPUs (except K5/K6).
You'll never find a system where only some CPUs have this problem.
The initial argument is dead on, bugs should be either presented as a
"fixed" feature, or there could (should?) be a bugs vector which could
be or'd. It's at least possible that AMD might fix this some time.
