No, I disagree with that.  It is affected users or kind hackers
working on their behalf that would have to deal with it, by writing a
patch and reporting this upstream (in either order) and keeping this
bug posted when they make progress.

Pointers:

 - bug reporting:
   http://www.cups.org/str.php?U

 - the error reporting code path: cgi-bin/ipp-var.c line 1380
   "cgiShowIPPError", templates/error.tmpl

 - submitting patches:
   http://www.cups.org/doc-1.5/spec-cmp.html#PATCH
