Great idea!
I did an experimental class with this last week (a bit later than
planned, indeed), information below. Students reacted very well and
figured out how to do things pretty quickly.
Just for the initial demonstration session, I'd say it's fine
for you to
create a single account for the whole class to use. If they want to go
on and do some Bugzapping work after the class, though, I'd say each
should register their own account at that point. Perhaps change the
password for the demo account after the class is over, so you will still
have access to it to answer any follow-ups on any of the bugs you touch.
We did it for the time being without accounts, they were offline and
posted info about bugs to Moodle.

Beland's reply to this looks good to me.
This part is interesting. To get familiar with clicking around
bugzilla, I assigned them to looking into Xorg logs attached to bugs
and finding out details about graphics cards and KMS. Over 70% of
reports were usable, and I could go over them afterwards and change
summary on each bug.
I would like to push this further, as I discussed today with Matej on
IRC. Can we arrange it all somehow for next monday 1530 CET? I have
only one group of students, not two as planned earlier.
