Mutt has no other choice if you do the colouring in the index list based
on body contents.

But you can try filtering just on the X-Launchpad-Bug header. The
disadvantage is that not only status changes are coloured and that it
probably doesn't work well on bugs with several tasks as you get several
X-Launchpad-Bugs headers.

Here are some updated examples:

color index default white "~hX-Launchpad-Bug:.*status\\=Incomplete\\;"
color index default green '~hX-Launchpad-Bug:.*status\\=Fix\\ Released\\;"
color index white   magenta "~hX-Launchpad-bug:.*status\\=Invalid\\;"
color index yellow  magenta "~hX-Launchpad-Bug:.*status\\=Won\\'t\\ Fix\\;"
