Well with a bit of luck it won't be 2.3 only, so yeah but not as likely. And I'm guessing carriers are getting bitched at as well, so they're probably looking into getting this one fixed soon-ish on the phones they "manage".
Maybe the fallout will be a valuable lesson to carriers.
They've (in some cases) loaded phones up with crap, and in so doing made maintenance difficult. Any patch will have to go through their crapification process, and re-testing, leading to customer dissatisfaction.
Depending on how much dissatisfaction the bug causes, and the degree to which people clamor for Android phones anyway, carriers might decide to change their attitudes toward crapware.
