What the hell is with the "fish fish, passover passover" bit?

Quote from Bjossi

Why are some of the bugfixes worded as if they have not been applied yet? One would think using past tense was more effective.

Well, those are the actual titles of the bugs.

Sometimes it's not clear whether the text is the bug, though, or the fix. Imagine you see the following items in a list of bugfixes. We don't know exactly what the bugs are, but they have been fixed. Most of the time, we can infer from context:

"Game crashes when sheep eat grass." -- that's clearly a bug, and it has been fixed.
"Sheep regrow wool when they eat grass." -- this one, on the other hand, seems to be the fix and not the bug. Apparently the bug was that before, they would not regrow the wool, and now it's been fixed, so they do.

Okay, so that's fine. We're all familiar with sheep and what they do. We know that when they eat grass, they're supposed to regrow their wool, and not supposed to crash the game. But what about when the bugfix says something like this:

"This new block you've never heard of before does this thing which you're not sure if it's supposed to do or not." -- What? Is "that thing it does" the bug that's been fixed (and now it doesn't do the thing anymore)? Or, is the bug that it was not doing it before, and doing it now is the fix?
