After posting my solution to the problem I got some feedback about the possible performance of the query.
I just run the query over a table with 120,000~ rows, and it completed in less than second and change.
After playing with it a bit, I decided to skip the function and put the results in a table and map that, it is easier to handle it that way with NHibernate, and I can put an index on it that would save a table scan on the months result.
The major cost is a clustered index scan (95%) and nested loops join (5%). Fun stuff :-)

I am getting deep into NHibernate's queries recently, extremely powerful, especially if you combine it with your own customer dialect.

As it turned out, this isn't that hard, all I needed to do was remember my trusty DateRange function, modify it to on months instead of days, and it was off to the races. This type of code does make my head hurt a tiny bit, it packs a lot into it.

DECLARE  @start DATETIME,
           @end DATETIME
               
SET @start = '2007-04-01'
set @end = '2007-10-01'

  SELECT YEAR(Currentdate) Year,
         MONTH(Currentdate) Month,
         COUNT(Bug.Id) OpenedBugCount
    FROM Dbo.MonthRange(@start,@end )
         JOIN Bugs Bug
           ON YEAR(Currentdate) >= YEAR(Bug.Openedat)
              AND MONTH(Currentdate) >= MONTH(Bug.Openedat)
              AND YEAR(Currentdate) <= YEAR(ISNULL(Bug.Closedat,Currentdate))
              AND MONTH(Currentdate) < MONTH(ISNULL(Bug.Closedat,DateAdd(MONTH,1,Currentdate)))
GROUP BY YEAR(Currentdate),MONTH(Currentdate)

I would get it into NHibernate on Sunday, should be fun, it is about the ninth select is the super report... :-)
