I haven't had time to research this fully, but it appears that Core disclosed the inflation bug after the majority of mining nodes were patched. At the time of writing this, https://coin.dance/nodes (screenshotted) reports that 75% of nodes are NOT patched. Think of all of those non-mining full nodes out there with a massive show-stopper bug, and they don't worry about this?
It's a tacit admission that non-mining nodes don't determine block validity or consensus. They just follow along with the miners' decisions.
