I believe Christian is referring to [...]

Ah, yes. Sorry.

Upstream change is at
https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/#/c/45283/

Although 62424 is merged, this is still present.

When a recent upgrade of gerrit did not went too smooth, gerrit has been
rolled back. Apparently, gerrit got rolled back further than needed.
So the fix is no longer in place.

Yesterday, Chad said that he'll take a look at getting a new version
together soonish.

Should be fixed since we upgraded gerrit and hooks-bugzilla on 2013-06-27.
