What's buggy about the mangling? Well, I guess I was just remembering that "mangler dogfooding" proposal that would have added a checking option to ensure that every mangling of a symbol name that the mangler emits can also be demangled by the demangler... that didn't go in, did it? If it had, this would be an example of something that might trip it up...
