What 'issue' and why wasn't it described in the changelog more accurately?

The blurb you wrote in the changelog:

| The libbfd C++ demangler doesn't seem to deal with cloned functions, 
| like symbol.clone.NUM.
|
| Just strip the dot part before demangling and add it back later.

Only alludes to a C++ symbol resolution annoyance and thus isn't very 
informative.
