bitrate setting is ignored during render

Description
Don't know if this only affects theora (the only codec I tried), but you can only set the encoding quality through the "quality" setting. You can't set the bitrate instead, it gets ignored.
To test: render a video with three different theora bitrate settings: 500 kbps, 1000 kbps, 1500 kbps, and the end results are identical: exact same quality, with the exact same filesize (down to the byte!).
Of course, I guess, this is all one of the symptoms of issues raised in bug #T2230, but I'm still stuck with not being able to use bitrate-based encoding, which sucks a lot, because I wanted to compare Theora 1.0 to the much touted Theora "Thusnelda" 1.1.
(I tried setting the "quality" value to 0, thinking it would make it "ignore" that and use my specified bitrate instead. Nope.)
