IMO this unduly favors form over substance.  You'd apply a fix to a
performance bug in a sample implementation that was in a separate file.
(At least I hope you would, because I intend to fix correctness and
major performance bugs in the sample implementations of my SRFIs and hope
you'll apply the changes I send you.)  The fact that the implementation is
physically incorporated in the document also containing the specification
doesn't make it part of the specification.  In short, the bug should
be fixed directly in the code with a notice that this has been done and
by whom.  If Phil is agreeable (and I gather he is), I think that would
be best overall.
