A bug is still a bug even if it's low severity and marked wontfix due to implementation complexity.

I wouldn't call an accuracy-performance tradeoff a bug, rather a design decision

No one is running sloc a million times per second. The performance cost here is trivial.

The accuracy cost is trivial as well, it's a trade-off. I'm pretty sure the implementers were fully aware that regex can't properly handle every case and decided not to care.

No, but you usually run it on a complete codebase which can be humongous.
