I don't know that there is a problem, certainly not a bug. I'm seeing a lot of people say in 1, 2, or 3 seasons totals are low. OK, to me that's anecdotal. Come back with 50 seasons, side by side, 6.51 next to a 6.12 version, and lets see what the numbers say.
And if MLB has closers get 86.2% (or whatever) of the saves, and OOTP has 78.9%, not a big deal. OOTP is not Diamond Mind or one of those other games seeking absolute statistical matching. It's not intended to be a replication, but a universe unto itself. There's not official acknowledgement of a problem here because likely the game is doing very close to what Markus intended. If it were a bug where the closer appeared in less save situations than the setup man, then I'd agree there might be a problem with the gameplanning. But as long closers are getting the preponderence of the saves there's really not a lot to bitch about.
