Well, I would refer to that as "lack of discipline", but regardless - the solution to this problem is to introduce a well-defined process, which is exactly what I'm proposing with the "bug scrub". I didn't invent this concept, its widely used within software engineering teams, and my personal experience of it is that it is a great way to ensure that what is in the bugtracker reflects reality.
