In general I think it is a good idea. The difficulty is to find a good 
tag that is not misunderstood.

It should not be mixed with
"there are error messages and a user forgot to attach the log"

I am also undecided how useful this would be if a bot creates now tons 
of "NEED_INVESTIGATION" bugs if we have no bots fixing these. :-)

A NEED_INVESTIGATION bug will take 100 times of the ressources compared 
to a usual bug.
