From a practical perspective, many more bugs than are being marked as "normal" are actually "normal" by this standard. Most of the bugs in our database are probably "low" priority in the sense that we just can't get around to fixing all of them. I can see the argument for making the most common case the default (though I share others uneasiness with doing so).
It may be worth having an "unassigned" initial priority, which we can treat as equivalent to "low".
We can do this, I think, by changing the bug's state from “NEW” to “ASSIGNED”.
