Or, if I add an Org version:

 * TODO  .....                                   :24.3:8.0.3:

These bare numbers seem a bit too anonymous to me.  I think it's
unlikely that Org will reach versions in the 20's anytime soon so
collision won't happen for a while but eventually (hackers willing!) it
will.

So, I suggest simply qualifying the versions like:

  * TODO  .....                                  :emacs_24.3:org_8.0.3:

I can also see a desire to list other software and their versions that
might be implicated in the bug being reported.  Listing their bare
versions as tags is, I think, obviously no good.  They could just
include this info in an ad-hoc manner in the body of their report, but
maybe it would be good to define a property to explicitly list them
following the same <package>_<version> pattern of the tags.

  * TODO  .....                                  :emacs_24.3:org_8.0.3:
    :PROPERTIES:
    :IMPLICATED_SOFTWARE: texlive_2012.20120611-5 beamer_3.10-2


BTW, I think an issue tracker in Org is very interesting.  I look
forward to seeing how it evolves.
