Major Android Bugs -- Do They Impact Cocos2d-x?

It appears that Cocos2d-x (all versions) will be impacted by major bugs in Android OS:

Based on this code:

https://github.com/cocos2d/cocos2d-x/blob/develop/cocos2dx/platform/android/java/src/org/cocos2dx/lib/Cocos2dxBitmap.java

It appears that this bug:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=58515

will cause Cocos2d-x applications to crash randomly in Nexus 4/5/7/10 devices and ANYTHING running 4.3 or later.

I’m really scared and sad to see Cocos2dxBitmap using the Android BitMap and SDK features.

Is there any hope for a stable CC2D-x on Android 4.x?
Is there any way to build a CC2D-x application that doesn’t use Cocos2dxBitmap?
