It's pretty rare in the first place (both because it IS device specific and because not a lot of people right-click inside of a file-open dialog) The fact that you've not heard of the issue happening with calibre does not mean that it never does (or ever did). Kovid is also more willing to go a lot of extra miles to work around Qt limitations/issues than I am. It's quite admirable on his part, but unless it's a wide-spread issue that's easily reproduceable (and affects a significant portion of the userbase in a dramatic way), I tend to want to leave Qt bugs for Qt to fix (or not).
If someone were to come up with definitive steps to reproduce this particular Qt/Windows/C++ chupacabra consistently (or Kovid points us to where he's encountered and beaten this bug), then a workaround will certainly be quickly sought to remedy it, if at all possible.
