Just unalias the alias corresponding to edit (the one you set up in
~/.zshrc) before launching reportbug. After that set it back. IIUC
there is no need to launch a bash subshell to do this. You can do
everything while you are in zsh.

So the sequence of commands would be

% unalias edit
% reportbug &
% alias edit='emacsclient -c -s /tmp/emacs1000/server'

hope that helps
