Ok, thanks for the explanations.
Now I'm convinced: I will use smiley icons.

It could be an icon of broken glass... Or a broken thing.
I found the following icons (attached for you to see):
- broken: a file that is broken, perhapse the better icon
- stain: there is a stain in the program, something wrong
- virus: perhapse the worst one :-)

And should the word "bug" be renamed?
Suggestion: "I found an anomaly" ?

Another icon will be needed for "Feature wish".
That's also a concept difficult to make an icon of!
I found the "idea" icon, which is an electric light bulb.
I think that iconography is common to represent a sudent idea, wish is near to 
the concept of "feature wish".
But is it a common iconography for idea arround the world?
I attached the icon, for you to give advises.
