...and this is complete nonsense -- I was too stupid to find the code
when I wrote the answer.
lp.bug.browser.bugtarget.FileBugViewBase.submit_bug_action does indeed
create links between bugs and HWDB submissions:

         for submission_key in extra_data.hwdb_submission_keys:
             submission = submission_set.getBySubmissionKey(
                 submission_key, self.user)
             if submission is not None:
                 bug.linkHWSubmission(submission)

(line 648).

So: A link between a bug and a HWDB submission is created, if the the
HWDB submission exists. If doesn't for whichever reason (mostly likely
because checkbox did create a submission ID but nothing was uploaded or
an error like a timeout occurred during the upload), the invalid /
non-extistent submission key is silently ignored.
