IMHO the best way to deal with that situation is to mark the bug as wontfix. Better to have a policy of always fixing bugs but be more flexible on what counts as a bug (and making sure the list of them is very small and being actively worked on).

But it's not "wont fix", because it will get fixed when there's nothing of a higher priority. And it's priority could change at some point.

I just disagree with this. It's entirely possible for something to not work correctly, but that fact be unimportant at the moment (or less important than something else).
