R 4.4.2 will be released from the R-4-4-branch, not from the trunk. The 
change you have pointed to is only on the trunk, which would eventually 
become the next minor release, probably 4.5.0. Anything on the trunk is 
subject to change.

See https://svn.r-project.org/R/branches/R-4-4-branch/src vs 
https://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk

See https://www.r-project.org/bugs.html

But in short, submitting a PR to bugzilla about this as you have done is 
fine. Now it is the turn for R Core to consider if this should be a 
CRAN-only check or not.
