This does not look like a fix to me - you just disable test to hide the 
result. If this issue is recorded with a bug, is tracked - why cant we 
just let this test fail till we get this issue fixed?

This should be most probably documented in the bug, right? Here we 
should just keep the test as is till the issue is fixed. I don't see how 
docummenting an issue would enable us to just disable the test.
