Inconsistant search results for "related bugs" in the web interface and the API

Bug Description

When I compare the result of
   https://bugs.launchpad.net/~thekorn/+bugs?field.importance%3Alist=HIGH
with the result returned by this API call
   launchpad.people["thekorn"].searchTasks(importance="High")
I see a big difference in the number of returned tasks (15 in the web search vs. 36 from the API).

One reason is that the web result is missing project wide bug mail subsriptions. E.g. I'm subsribed to all bugmail from launchpad.net/mago, bug bugs like bug 715198 are not in the web result set. The API result contains this bug.

The API and the web UI don't strictly need to match 1:1; that said would be nice to be consistent where we can.
