FOGBugz by the Joel on Software guy. I'm sure you know the site. One of my 
clients uses it and it's quite a neat little app. The only issue is it's 
pay-per-seat which could get annoying. I believe it has a CGI for adding bug 
reports from apps that allows you to avoid duplicate entries.

Not sure about the MySQL backend but probably ???
