OK, I'll see if I can find a way to set the value without this
unintuitive behavior.
Good.

No, as I said, this is an easy hack that ensures priority is set
without forcing the user to do it. Priority is the property primarily
of the assigned developer, so users should normally not be setting it.
Severity is the field that the user can set.
I'd leave it unselected and not in red.

We do. Since users in general should not be setting priority, it can
not be a required field.

As a user, I hate programs that behave that way. I want to keep
fields that require user action to a bare minimum. Currently that
minimum is title and module (severity, type, and platform all have
plausible defaults).
