There actually is something to the squeaky wheel in this case.  With 
limited time and resources, those bugs identified as causing grief have 
added weight.  Obviously it's not quite that cut and dry, but asking for 
specific bugs to be fixed amongst the pile of bugs _does_ increase the 
chances they'll be part of the next set.

Make a list of your top 2 or 3 and re-iterate why they're your top bugs.. 
can't hurt (much).
