This is an excerpt from a control ACK message I received recently:

As you can see, the negative "new ID" is included in the list of URLs in the
footer.

Attached is a bit of a guess at a patch, not tested (I've not got round to
setting up a local debbugs to play with!).

reassign 600234 debbugs
thanks

This is actually the wrong way to handle it. [You have to push the bug
through the cloned bug listings first, and then not add negative
numbers to the $ref_handled list.] It's correctly handled in the new
version of this code that I haven't yet merged.

But thanks for the report and the patch.
