I was able to implement this. buglist.cgi uses Bugzilla/Search.pm to
generate the SQL (but not execute). This SQL will have a '1 = 1' in the
WHERE part. This '1 = 1' could still be there if the query somehow was
using HAVING instead, so the if-statement currently reads:
 if ($query =~ / 1 = 1/ && $query !~ /HAVING/) {

The WHERE can have some stuff to show restricted bugs, so above was the
best option I could think of... somewhat hackish, but oh well :-)
