Upon closer inspection, the real problem is that our data migration for issues isn't converting the priority values properly. Currently, we just save the D6 int value (1, 2, 3 or 4) as field_issue_priority (which in turn is how it gets recorded via nodechanges). However, in D7, the default priorities are this:

      'allowed_values' => array(
        400 => $t('Critical'),
        300 => $t('Major'),
        200 => $t('Normal'),
        100 => $t('Minor'),
      ),

The idea was that these default values would let people add others in between without having to try to migrate all the data, etc (since it's nice to be able to sort on this column in various places).

So, during migration, we need to be multiplying the priority by 100 whenever we're converting from D6 to D7.
