IMO, "Invalid" seems more correct here. "Won't Fix" implies the bug is
a real problem with functionality, but that the behavior will not be
changed because there are architectural issues, or a workaround
exists, etc. "Invalid" implies that the bug itself is not a real
issue, and there is no need for a workaround or documentation.

To me, anyway. Other people may feel differently about those
particular words. :-)
