I think noticing other bugs that aren't related to the ticket at hand is actually a good thing. That's how you notice them, by "being in the area" anyway.

What many QAs can't do / for me separates the good and the not so good ones, is that they actually understand when they're not related and just report them as separate bugs to be tackled independently instead of starting long discussions on the current ticket at hand.
