That's because `bug-reference-bug-regexp' has a global default value
which happens to match "our" bug numbers.

Most probably nothing.  Is there a bug address like
48439@debbugs.gnu.org in that mail's To, From, Cc?  That should be
matched fine by the default regexp in
`bug-reference-setup-from-mail-alist'.  Could you please verify that
`bug-reference-try-setup-from-rmail' runs when you activate
`bug-reference-mode' in your rmail buffer?  And if it does but still
doesn't set the `bug-reference-url-format', could you share an mbox with
just that message?

Bye,
