Why are these ignored?
I can't speak for anyone else, but I would guess it's because no one who has looked at them has figured out any useful information to add, or found the time to investigate further.
As to whether we should pull someone off of other tasks to focus on these XP text-rendering bugs, that's tricky. They are user-visible regressions and a large portion of our users are on XP. On the other hand, they do not affect web content; XP is a (slowly) shrinking platform; and the difference between grayscale and subpixel AA is jarring to some users but subtle or invisible to others.
In general, if I understand correctly, it's hard to use native subpixel AA in layers that use hardware accelerated compositing. So in some cases we might need to choose between speed and subpixel rendering. (I'm not at all an expert in this area, though.)
