If two people edit a bug at the same time, one edit is lost

Bug Description

If two people edit a bug's "status/priority/assigned to" at the same time, one of the edits is lost.

For example, see https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/soyuz/+bug/244028/+activity

Celso and I both edited the bug around the same time, but since Celso's edit arrived slightly before mine, my submission overwrote his.

Perhaps the server needs to generate a checksum of the current values and put it in a hidden form field which can be checked when the submission arrives?
