You are of course correct, but it seems largely a matter of semantics.
From one point of view a bug is the set of symptoms, since that's all you can see from the outside. A particular reported "bug" may result from more than one problem in the code. And a problem in the code may result in multiple apparently unrelated symptoms. Without finding a code problem and testing, you really can't tell.
I was speaking in terms of the symptoms, since that's what the users report and since patch levels and operating systems are always suggested as the source of the problem.
As for it being "completely different", it may be, but if this really is new in 3.10, the first place I'd look is in the fix to the old bug.

Yes, technically this is just a matter of semantics, I just argued it to make sure that it is indeed just a semantics issue, and not a case of a wrong understanding of things
(especially since you called a the difference in replay and actual events caused by different versions (of patches or mods) a bug, which it hardly is.)
Also, I meant that it is probably (but not necessarily) a completely different issue, I probably should have phrased it differently. As for looking in the fix to the old bug, that's pretty obvious since the fix is the code that directly controls the battle simulation - it's the first place you'd think to look regardless of previous bugs
