Upon running the code as-is, I received a failure rather quickly:

In an IRC conversation James suggested that there is code in LP's trunk that needs to land that will correct this by exposing bug links in the BP API.

Once I changed the if statement above this to check for the bugs attribute, the code ran fine, though the data was off because bugs were not collected from any of the BP's.

So, I'd say that we should just hold off merging until that LP change lands and this test passes.
