Filling bugs in web browser is indeed something many people expect. But
having two issue trackers introduce a lot of problems. Add to your list
ambiguity of issue numbers.

What about providing appropriate "mailto" link to open new issue on BTS,
including all the magic headers, bug template etc?
Like the "reply" one existing already on BTS (I'm using it right now, I
even get quoted message I reply to!).
