I reported this on the 19th where the export of the table state just
wasn't there. The other report (with a different bug number as you
requested) is from the 24th - actually the date of your upload of the
fixed version to unstable.
As usual the dmsetup's changelog is as verbose as:
 * Update dmsetup export patch.
No word that the patch contains additional functionality.
