It's going to be interpreted, and is probably meant, as saying that the person who filed the bug should close this report and open a new one in the right place.

Since the comment you responded to already complained about use of passive voice...

It's going to be interpreted BY WHOM to say that? Other .NET developers? Yeah, maybe, at least some of them. By the submitter of the original bug? No idea, I can't read their mind.

By approximately everyone. Passive voice saying something should be done differently, in reply to someone doing something, is saying that person should do it differently.

Mind-reading is not necessary to predict how people will react to certain patterns of behavior.
