Why hasn't this been fixed yet?
It's not that people *could* set the status wrong, they *do* set the status wrong.
Most commonly, they use "Incomplete" when a change has been published which does not completely resolve the issue.

Either link both instances of "Status" to https://help.launchpad.net/Bugs/Statuses (or http://news.launchpad.net/general/of-bugs-and-statuses or whereever), as era suggested,
or change the display names of the status.

For example:
"Incomplete" -> "Bug description is incomplete" or "Need more information"
"Invalid" -> "Rejected"
"Confirmed" -> "Independently confirmed"
"Triaged" -> "Assigned"
"In progress" -> "Work in progress" or even "Fixing is in progress"
"Fix Committed" -> "Fix has been checked in"
"Fix Released" -> "Fix has been released"
