I think what I would like is actually to see the bugs ordered by
most-recently-touched, but showing their flames, then you perhaps get
the best of both worlds. The precise date when something was changed
is not actually very interesting, it's enough to just see the last few
days (or whatever). And it will still keep heat a bit visible.

My sense is that the heat algorithm is not yet tuned enough that it
really highlights the bugs you must always be aware of.

I think that mockup still tends to make the page a bit cluttered; I
would rather eventually see that space used for eg putting a few of
the most popular advanced search items onto the page, like a checkbox
for "include closed bugs".
