I guess AdaCore wanted to preserve backward compatibility but the proper
fix, of course, was for Close to raise an exception.  This is not the
case, so all programs using the buggy Close are still affected, so I
would leave the bug open.

It is quite ironic that Ada prevents programmers from ignoring the
result of a function call but allows them to import C functions
(returning other than void) as procedures.
