I think it depends on why bodhi made the change.

I've seen some situations where an update has been proposed, and testers
have grabbed it before it ever hit updates-testing.  They verified the
fix and set the bug accordingly.  Then when bodhi pushes the update to
updates-testing, it sets the status to ON_QA.

In other scenarios, a build might have been already in updates-testing,
then it gets verified by a tester and marks it as such in the bug.  Then
the developer might edit the update, perhaps changing the text or adding
a bug which has caused the update to get re-pushed to updates-testing
and the bug status reset to ON_QA.

Other times the edit includes new version(s) of the package(s) and
re-pushing to updates-testing and thus a reset of status to ON_QA.
