Additional info:
This may effectively get fixed if bug #538149 gets resolved -- I don't think I know of any other way to create a CP that has invalid data in it.
Temporarily adding the keyword "SubBug" so we can be sure we have accounted for all the bugs. keyword: new = Tracking + FutureFeature + SubBug
making sure we're not missing any bugs in rhq_triage
