Where can we find the definition of the tag contents?
Whichever way this discussion goes, we should
update that documentation with the conclusions.

As per other emails and still waiting from confirmation from Alan. I
don't think the @bug should be updated for any of these test fixes.
The @bug tag is intended to list the bug numbers of bugs that are useful
when you have a test failure and sometimes there can be really useful
information in a bug that turns out to be a test bug. I'm not aware of
any rule that says that the bug numbers shouldn't include bugs that were
test only bugs but it's almost always bug numbers of bugs that caused
the test to be extended to cover additional scenarios. For the tests
being discussed here then I think we should just use our best judgment.
Worse case it's easy to dig into the history with hg.
That was somewhat non-committal :) To me @bug says "these are the bugs
that this test is checking the fix for" hence not applicable in any of
the recent timing/race test fixes.
