Very true. However, at least in this case, if the bug had been closed at some point, the issue still would have surfaced when it became relevant due to the filing of duplicate bug 924048. In fact, there are 42 duplicates of this bug that have been filed over the years.
You have to keep in mind that duplicate marking happens by people who are not necessarily making the fix/wontfix decisions.
So it's easy to end up with a bug getting wontfixed and then getting lots of duplicates because none of the people marking duplicate have the context to realize the bug just needs to be reopened.
