In this case there was no real harm from the "this bug is already fixed" condition - just an extra email. Real harm would only come from missed regressions or from incorrectly closed regressions - but those are not happening. note that there is no "robot" involved in changing the state of bugs - the real important work here is done by Rafael and checking whether a bug is still relevant is an inevitably manual work. The mails and reports are auto-generated but crawling discussions and determining the status of a regression is very hard to automate.
