I'm glad this is escalated, but i suspect that a full fix is out of
scope until the main disclosure work - because we need to get the root
cause - handle things like:
 - asking the user if they want to grant visibility to the filer of
dupes (many may be moved at once due to the many-dupes changing case)
 - or asking them if they want to close the dupes (bugstatus
duplicate, duplicate-of set to the master, but they cannot see any
info)
 - etc etc etc
 - we may even need bug relationships to solve this really well - have
a private bug, and a public bug with a bugrelationship of 'depends
on', and have the dupes be made against the public bug.

So I suggest we degrade the bug back to high, that the disclosure work
include this in it, and the short term fix (do not generate links) be
done trivially.
