Creating unit tests for buggy legacy code

We're creating unit tests for some legacy code, and in doing so we found a bug in one of our classes. It might be a while before we fix the bug. Do we

  • create a unit test now which demonstrates the bug and fails, or
  • wait until we fix the bug to create the unit test?

If we create the test now we'll have a failing test until we fix the bug, which seems ugly.
