As I see it, it is not a bug. International Domain Names are a standatd sind a while, already. The only problem is that some unicode characters look exactly like some UTF-8 characters and because of that, people can be "cheated".
But who needs IDNs?? In Mozilla/Firefox and maybe also in Thunderbird (if you download the about:config extension) IDNs can be disabled by using the about:config thingie.
Open your Gecko based brwoser and type "about:config" (without the quotes) and hit return. Search for "network.enableIDN" (without the quotes) and set it to "false" (without the quotes).
Here (in Switzerland) the shop gave me one year warranty for my Creative Zen Micro, wich is typical for this type of electronic device, over here.
The oly thing about the Zen Micro that bothers me is that the software for transvering music between the Zen and the PC is only available on Windows and it has no support for OGG.
