Well, if you declare that "documenting a problem" is equivalent to
resolving the problem, then yes.  But the core of the problem is
still present.

It could be solved by calling stat() also when in "use filetest 'access';"
is enabled.  The performance penalty is minimal, because people should
not use -r/-w/-x anyway: in general that is a bad idea.
