Merging Similar Bug Reports
I have posted a bug that is very similar to someone else's. The owners of both bugs want to merge them in order to make them more visible on this site by having many more votes in order to increase the likelihood of them getting fixed.
Allow registered users of this site to merge their bugs with other bugs pending the approval of the host bug and you, Long.

@thenonhacker: Long said there are some complications with even merging the vote totals of two "merged" bugs, so I don't think that my idea and your elaboration are possible. But sometimes it's the thought that counts! :)

+1. A tricky problem to solve, but here's my suggested solution:
Moderator decides the "Main" Bug Report.
Moderator associates Similar Bug Report with the "Main".
The Similar Bug Reports will ONLY be visible to the author of the "Main" Bug Report.
Author of the the "Main" Bug Report will be charged with re-editing his entry to include any additional info of screenshots from the Similar Bug Reports.
WIN-WIN!
