This is the single biggest problem everywhere I have looked. Outside the development team itself no one is willing to wait for a new feature just because a test failed. And for many large programs there will be substantial subsets of users who will not be affected by the bug so they will argue that the delivering the feature is more important, and contributes more to the bottom line, than fixing the bug.
