Meh, I think you're all blowing this all out of proportion.
Its true that this glitch sucks, but we all know they will patch it, and even then take this into account:
The face and hair options in the first game were BLOODY SUCKY in the first place, and I was already upset enough that I wasn't able to alter said face on ME2 without having to start from scratch. I played the ME3 demo and was able to recreate the face of my shepard to perfection. Not only does it look identical to my original shepard face, it looks better in terms of geometry, texture, and hair.
Considering I had planned to edit the face of my shepard in the first place, GLITCH OR NO GLITCH, this doesn't really affects me at all.
Now, if the bug was that we can't import DECISIONS from the first game, or that said decisions were poorly imported (Like the conrad verner bug on ME2) THAT would be a source of concern. But as long as those are fine, then I don't really have a problem with this.
There's a difference between editing and recreating. Some people, like myself, are pretty bad at remembering precisely what was tweaked to give their Shepard a specific look, particularly when the character was created years ago. Likewise, some characters are extremely unique - their look is more than the sum of the parts the creator allowed. To lose that... it's disheartening, to say the least.
