A huge bug - do the devs know about this?

I've been wondering since i15 came out if the devs are aware of this.

Help Channel and Help Chat Tab
Theoretically, when you chose the Help Tab as the Active Tab, then typing in the chat window should broadcast that line of text into the Help Chat Channel. However, this is now broken. When the Devs gave the /help command (which opens the Help Window) the alias of /h, it replaced the Chat Tab's own use of the /h command. And so, if you try to use either the /h command or the Active Help Tab in order to chat in the Help Channel, the UI will interpret both of those as /help and your text as the arguments for the /help command. But, since the /help command takes no arguments, you'll get a system error message telling you /help takes 0 arguments.
The only way to type in the Help Channel now is to use the /hc command.

To most that is just an annoyance, but to newbies, and especially trial accounts for whom it is the only way to communicate to a large number of people, it's game-breaking, and is almost certainly costing potential customers.
It's clear what is causing it, so I'm thinking that if it was not fixed with i15 the most likely explanation is that the devs who can do this are not aware of it.
A game is not supposed to be some kind of... place where people enjoy themselves!
