I still wouldn't like it. Saying "All Known Bugs" implies that we feel there
may be bugs that we don't know about.

I would have no problem not mentioning bugs at all. Saying nothing does not
give the implication that we didn't fix any bugs, but saying something seems
to imply something worse in most cases. If we really feel we need to mention
it, I'd stay with the current wording over the given alternatives.
