Not bad, but it's a shame that bugzilla (is that what we're talking 
about) seems so inflexible (hard to hack) that we can't pick a word or 
SHORTUNSPACEDPHRASE to more precisely describe the condition.

No, I don't have a suggestion (yet) on that word or phrase--well, ok, 
brainstorming some phrases:
   * TWEAKEDANDNOWUNCERTAIN
   * TWEAKED_STATUSUNCERTAIN
   * ???

Without ever having fooled with bugzilla innards, my impression is that 
it's primarily a database application?
