Agreed, users will come to Phabricator through new T numbers. The transition will happen quickly if old-timers let it! If users are used to BZ they'll visit the old bugzilla.wikimedia.org URLs which will still work as a redirect. Perhaps your concern is if users see a mention of "bug 12345" and come to Phab with it and the wrong thing or nothing happens. The fix for that might be to make the Phabricator search handle 12345 specially, appending OR Ext_ref = bz//12345// to the search.
