Well, so far Valve has never responded to any of the SDK bug reports, so you shouldn't hold your breath waiting for them before releasing a fix. Better to just release the fix and if there's an issue, we'll solve it. (Now Valve did fix http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SDK_Known_Issues_List#BotPutInServer_linker_failures in the SDK, but they didn't respond specifically to the KI.)
I'll post a fix for sdk_hud_chat.cpp shortly.
