Anecdata will vary, but my experience has been those bugs get filed, marked "not important", and PMs have no way to sift the security impactful dozen out of hundreds to thousands of small defects in a large product's backlog. (And sometimes that backlog gets deleted, disappearing knowledge of those bugs.)
I'm hoping we'll eventually be able to flag bugs with the types involved, and let systems automatically look for combinations that have a set of types that could be dangerous.
My point was that it's not enough to focus on good intentions -- or culture -- you have to talk about mechanisms and technologies if you want a reliable system. Because the parts, humans in this case, are highly unreliable in isolation.
