Comment (by mamaedler):

 Hi @donmhico thanks for your answer. Even after about 17 months. I
 appreciate it.

 I tried to make this as clear as possible and I think waiting for other
 dev reports can take another 17 months, at least.

 Registering and posting to this "trac" ticket system is kind of a hurdle.

 For other dev input see this
 [https://webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/103192/how-to-edit-or-
 remove-robots-txt-on-a-wordpress-powered-website/103872#answer-103872
 StackExchange post] as an example.

 I mean, usually you end up far back in the search results anyway. But when
 I created this issue, I had a real site that showed up on the first page
 of Google search results (like in the example picture attached above). It
 was (I think) due to the original name and searching for that name exactly
 lead to this situation. It is difficult to reproduce this scenario. That's
 why I substantiated my allegation with Google Webmasters knowledge base.
