In my eyes the bug is clearly not invalid because it caused memory leaks
for me. If you have a struct which is a wrapper to a malloced buffer,
and you pass it to a function which takes the struct as out parameter,
the destructor will never be called because the memory will simply be
reinitialized and the memory will leak. In my eyes this is a clear
struct lifetime bug.
