No, because typos will end up in bugs migrating from package to package. In general, you should reassign the bug before you close it. > My next command was reassigning the bug to the the right package > (gsettings-desktop-schemas), which marked the bug as notfound in > nautilus-open-terminal, but also unexpectedly marked the bug as no > longer fixed in gsettings-desktop-schemas/3.4.2-3 Right, because generally when you reassign, the version information is wrong. It would be reasonable to keep the version information if it matched the package which the bug was assigned to, but that requires extra logic. > So my next step was to correct that, and also set the found > information.

See the documentation of found;[1] if the highest found version is greater than the highest fixed version, the bug shouldn't be closed, so it is automatically reopened. Set fixed versions first if you want this to happen.
