Any bug should be verified as no longer valid in the latest supported
or development version before it is marked as invalid. The fact that
the bug was reported in dapper or edgy does not make automatically make
it invalid. If the application is still in use, and still contains the
bug, it is still a valid bug.

A bug in any version that is fixed in the development version can be
marked as fixed-release. We even have a standard response for that at 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Responses#Fixed_in_Development_release_while_still_existing_in_a_previous_release
