This makes sense to me actually.  The bug was moved off one project to
another in a sense.  I'm assuming also it did it not show up even when
un-selecting "hide duplicate bugs" from the advanced search, right?

I guess I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature. :-)  Half-kidding,
of course, but I hope you all get my point.
