Gavin's second solution in comment #3 above seems the most sensible to me:
- Extend the linkifying code in Launchpad to match bug nicknames as well as numbers
- Use the same filter as in the linkifying code to identify the instances in the import file that would trigger linkification.
- break the linkification of the suspected SF bug and add a new reference, e.g. transform "bug 123456" into "_bug_ 123456 likely to have been imported as sf-123456" (assuming the linkification code is not triggered by _bug_ 123456)
