If you have information to share, you should fill a bug report.
Developers cannot really track down every provider on the planet. 

No, i must confess that I didn't use a modem since a long time ( the
only one I used is the one of my mobile phone, and I used wvdial (not
user friendly) and network-manager ( not sure it can work with non 3g
modem )), so I cannot really tell where to look for filling a bug
report.

But I think you are right and that's important to make sure that it work
fine.
