Many of my subtasks have the same name, so the current modeline isn't always
very useful - if I'm working on a particular bug it might tell me
"[1:20 Reproduce the error]",
whereas I'd prefer it to say
"[1:20 Bug #12303 Disappearing accounts ... Reproduce the error]"
Could we have the option to create a custom function to create clock headings?
Eg, somewhere in `org-clock-in':
...
(if org-custom-clock-heading
;; custom clock heading
(funcall org-custom-clock-heading)
;; business as usual
(if (looking-at org-todo-line-regexp)
(setq org-clock-heading (match-string 3))
...

FWIW, I think it's a good idea.

I've been trying out a version using advice, and it's proving very useful, not
least because you can propertise the mode-line: if I click the top level task it
opens the bug (it tends to be a bug :) in our bug tracking system, and if I
click the sub-task it takes me to it in my org file.

Looks nice. Can you share your advice on this list? Thanks!

Yes, of course:
(defvar org-custom-clock-heading nil
"Function that returns a custom \(propertised\) value for the
`org-clock-heading' variable.
Called with point at the new clock")
(defadvice org-clock-in (after org-clock-in-custom-modeline activate)
"Customise the modeline
NB this feature has been requested and may be standard in future versions of
Org-mode"
(when org-custom-clock-heading
(let ((custom-heading (funcall org-custom-clock-heading)))
(when custom-heading
(setq org-clock-heading custom-heading)
(org-update-mode-line)))))
