I have the pager plugin installed which adds the option 'bzr log --git'. That shows your bug fix commit as follows (yes, with color and bold):

revision ralph.lange@bessy.de-20100811144226-z0izlbs2a17r0r3x (12094)
Author: Ralph Lange <Ralph.Lange@bessy.de>
Date: Wed 2010-08-11 10:42:26 -0400
Branch: rules-db-fix
Bugs: https://launchpad.net/bugs/615916 fixed

Fix: Made all RULES.Db rules use $*.tmp style names for temporary files (fixes lp:615916) [configure/RULES.Db]

I can also grep the output:

tux% bzr log --git | grep Bugs:
Bugs: https://launchpad.net/bugs/615916 fixed
Bugs: https://launchpad.net/bugs/595240 fixed
Bugs: https://launchpad.net/bugs/595242 fixed
Bugs: https://launchpad.net/bugs/551909 fixed

This at least shows that the bug data is available, we could create our own plugin to display it if we wanted to (the pager plugin demonstrates how very nicely).
