This is a non-issue. Issue tracking would work the same way git forks do: there's at any one time, always a "reference" repostory, implicit or explicit. This same repository will also hold the reference state of bugs. It's really that simple. The thing is, with a distributed bug tracker you can now also record local bugs which are pertitent with your fork only, while also keeping track of the reference with minimal effort.
