Not entirely, though there's a lot of overlapping. Bug #218 is just about making the commands in chapters 5 and 6 uniform, while the bug dealt with here is about updating the commands a little bit to make them more intelligent when it comes to situations where it normally would fail.
I rather have them seperated as they are now, because pretty much everybody is able to make the chapters 5 and 6 commands identical, but the 'making it more robust' requires more work/knowledge

Know what? This is going to be a real pain to implement, taking a lot of rewriting of Makefile files and instructions just to insert a bunch of "if-then-else" type statements. If you have a very special/weird setup, then I'm sure you can manage yourself in the first place, right?
Look at the bzip2 installation instructions for instance: cd $LFS/usr/bin && mv bzcat bunzip2 bzip2 bzip2recover $LFS/bin This will fail if $LFS/usr/bin and $LFS/bin are identical because mv does not move a file onto itself.
