I agree with the fact that author has to at least mention the fact that you need to work around this special case. Right now the description of the task and the expected results are different. Which is not a problem to work around, but it's not right.

No issue.
Do not create an issue, if you are not sure, what is the problem.
798 people solved this kata without problems, so I really think, the problem is in your code.

And next time you should close the issue yourself, when you solved the kata!
