I think it's reasonable to *request* that a bug be treated as "High Priority because it affects my $IMPORTANT_USE_CASE". Who knows, the devs might sympathize and actually prioritize it, say because they were under the impression that it was a minor bug / rare corner case. But it's also possible that they don't, so you just shouldn't have any expectation that your request will be accepted.
