If a comment is made on a bug flagged bogus, do the developers get a message? I added a comment to bug http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=3197 but I am not sure if anyone will see it. Do I need to re-open the bug first?
Yes, they should see the message even if the bug us set bogus. It simply sounds like the maintainer doesn't want to make the change although he gives no real reasons for it. I've added a comment fo my own as well.
BTW, the most obvious problem with brain-dead __autoload() implementation described by Scott in the bug report is the following. Consider: some package author would like to check for PEAR errors, but save the overhead of loading PEAR.php when there is no error, so he writes: if (is_a($returnValue, 'PEAR_Error')) { 
    ...
} Now brain-dead __autoload() kicks in and immediately dies, for there is no PEAR/Error.php: PEAR_Error is defined in PEAR.php.
