I think that's a really interesting point: there was recently a
heuristic added whereby when you click "link a branch", Launchpad will
suggest branches that contain the bug number. But why even make
people do that? It would be pretty useful for Launchpad to show a
link to "probably related branches".

Yep, bug 318439.
