I think the way to think about this sort of thing is, if we had found this bug when a release wasn't imminent, would we consider it bad enough to justify an unscheduled release cycle? I have to think the answer for this one is "probably not".
There are a questions
1. is it critical bug?
2. if is it, will be reason for special minor release?
3. how much time is necessary for fixing of this bug?
These questions can be unimportant if there is some security fixes in next release, what I cannot to know.
