As it is supposed to do, it's a design flaw fixed on BBA models but few non-BBA's
with notable exception to the Asus & VisionTek HD3870X2's with quad-DVI ports.
Biggest danger of the fan bug is that the fan is only ramped out AFTER you boot an OS
& initiate software control leaving a card like the HD3870X2 idling @ 60C+ until then.

Two different things, though. You're talking about the ability to control
fans via software. I don't have any issue with that. However, the card's
built-in thermal management should not be DEPENDENT upon software for
control, and should revoke software control if temp levels exceed some
pre-defined value.
