John, I'm sorry but I disagree. Once you convert bug id to URL you lost
original info.

Let's imagine this situation: I've set up non-standard bug tracker in my
bazaar.conf and commit with --fixes ticket:123
You pull my branch but your bazaar.conf have no settings for my bug 
tracker. How can you extract bug id then?

I think the best what can be done is to store for each bug pair of 
values: bug id and bug URL template. Then and only then you can easily
obtain any of 2: either bug id alone or bug URL.
