Does this help at all? It means that the bug has been there even before moving to git. I think it's better to be removed for avoid confusion.
I think if you are back porting it then you know it goes back all the way. That seems useful.
The Fixes tag is still new so it's not totally clear what the rules are. I don't have strong feelings about this either way.
