That's not because the bug is not in Minecraft code that it's not a Minecraft bug.
People affected by this issue are not able to play, thus there is a bug in Minecraft.
Dev are responsible for all dependencies they use and redistribute.
Further more, you can still fix it in various way:
Update LWJGL from 2.9.4-nightly-20150209 to newer version (note that the bug is fixed in LWJGL 3.x)
Patch LWJGL, and distribute the patched version
