I just looked at the Flickr Java API ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/flickrj/), and they offer to get a list of photos per location (one location, and an accuracy setting - world, country, city, street level ...).
Once you have the list, you can get the tags, date and author. So you can filter the results based on that info. After filtering, it's possible to download the images and the notes with the images (so you have both, text and photo for a bug). I don't think it's needed to have a pro account, as it's not for commercial use, but every mapper and every bug reporter would need an own Flickr account. So if a JOSM developer has some time (not my case), it would be quite easy to develop such a bug downloader.
