"fix released" is really an inaccurate term. Even in Ubuntu development it really just means "fixed in development", not in a released version.
For Ubuntu it means that a package that fixes the bug is available for the official repositories. On top of that, the bugs are tracked separately in different versions, and are marked Fix Released only when really fixed in the given distro version (a package is available). For me this is fair enough.
For upstream projects marking bugs fixed in SVN is just an abuse of the bug status, because there is no release where this bug is fixed. Calling SVN snapshot builds "releases" is just weird, because their quality is not suitable for general use, and they are not supposed to be make it into distributions or official Windows installers.
Every assertion you make in this last paragraph can be debated. However, using the inflammatory term "abuse" in reference to our current processes makes it sound like you're just trolling anyway.
