I must say that I have certainly (correctly) fixed a bug, and then broken the code somewhere else resulting in the same effect as the original bug, and missed it because I didn't put in a test the first time. I do agree (with everyone else I think) that it's a very good habit to get into to submit a test with every fix, no matter how obvious.
