If "one little bug" has been reported and is bothering different users (including premium members) and affecting my (new) user experience, app/IT-wise, but not addressed, I wonder where the effort is going. As a new user, I can't see it. (I'm not saying there is none. I'm still at times trying to find my way through the website and app.)
When you try to decide whether the experience is worth your commitment through a paying premium membership - and you aren't sure - such things may well tip the balance.
Personally I'd prefer the section to be deactivated than be bugged by the error constantly.
