I’d go for the second choice: Close out the gnucash bug as “not gnucash” and put the URL of the Gnome bug in see-also. You could guard against the eventual demise of bugzilla.gnome.org <http://bugzilla.gnome.org/> by using a wayback machine URL, e.g.
https://web.archive.org/web/20141226164846/https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=364946 <https://web.archive.org/web/20141226164846/https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=364946>, though some earlier bugs like 67416 seem not to be archived.
