Magento php extensions 0 must be loaded

I’ve just been installing Magento (which for some reason is a real pain!). I got a really random error message when trying to setup the database. I get an error message just saying:

"php extensions 0 must be loaded"

You need to edit app/code/core/Mage/Install/etc/config.xml changing:

<extensions>
<pdo_mysql/>
</extensions>

to this:

<extensions>
<pdo_mysql>

Given that this bug has been around since for about 3 years – surely Magento can fix it?
