Yes, this is a good problem to solve for many reasons.
The logic aspect of the bug tracker should be controlled by mail addresses only (I don't like the mail header approach, just make it absolutely simple and work on mail addresses)
While I agree that adding custom headers is likely to be a pain and make users come up with hacks, some headers are very well standardized. Most notably In-Reply-To and Message-ID. IMHO, and "id" for the bug should be the Message-ID of the original email, and any "comments" should be In-Reply-To said email. That way you can just reply to a bug from your email client and it works. Just like a mailing list :)
