You expect users to have the expertise to report a bug which includes a 
line number where the bug occurred, yet you don't expect they will be 
able to add debug=true to the URL when asked to do so? Also, the 
critical part of reporting a bug is rarely the only information needed 
to fix a problem.

Is there any data on how significant the number of or quality of bug 
reports will be impaired by this?

We would be the only web site I know of, certainly the only web site of 
similar size to choose to try and retain line-numbers in production 
output. I suspect that they are still functioning just fine.
