It has changed over time :). It used to be better to re-use one, because
otherwise you would lose comments.

However, it is now better to resubmit, as the comments get carried
across, and it resets any votes.

In this particular case, there is no need, as your changes are small,
and the diff will be updated.

I would also mention that we probably would want a test for this case,
to help prevent it from regressing.

I realize it is a bit hard to inject ghosts into the system, because it
is *designed* to not make it easy. (ATM, I think only bzr-svn is able to
label a text as coming from a ghost.)

So we can try to help you with writing that test, but we really should
have something so that we maintain support for it.

Did you at least test it interactively? (run 'bzr annotate' on something
you know has ghosts?)
