"there are plenty of bugs like this that have multiple, separate
projects on them"

Yes, single bug reports have been used in the past for things like
library/language transitions on many different packages. However, that
tends to waste more time (in extra bug mail to uninterested people) than
it saves (in sharing code and ideas). So it's not clear-cut, but in
general, two projects/packages should share a bug report only if it's
likely that the same diff will fix the bug in both places (e.g. Mozilla
Firefox vs. Ubuntu firefox), or if there's only one bug but the
respective people need to collaborate in working out which software
needs fixing (this often happens with Notify OSD vs. gnome-settings-
daemon) .
