You seem to assume here that only users who don't speak English like i18n'ed software. That's untrue. I do use a fully localized system and I tend to think that I speak a quite decent English.Mmm, same here. Still, I don't like it half-and-half - having to produce English text (the bug report) in a localized environment would seem a bit strange to me.
Just as strange as writing e-mail in English in a localized e-mail client?
If a localized agent were to guide me through the reporting process I'd automatically "respond" in the same language.
I might also do that, unless I was explicitly warned that I shouldn't do it.
Activating English spell-checking in the editor 'reportbug' launches might be an extra aid in reminding users that bug reports have to be submitted in English.
