FogBugz targets .NET 2, which lacks .NET Expressions; they'd have had to build their own AST model, without C# support. I wouldn't be surprised if, whenever FogBugz gets around to requiring .NET 3.5, they start supporting LINQ queries against the exposed datasets, but I wouldn't hold your breath.
Oh, that's too bad. I'm thinking about writing a plugin for FogBugz, and that would have been nice to have (it won't stop me from writing it though ;)
Perhaps they could check out LINQbridge (http://code.google.com/p/linqbridge/). I don't know if that could be adapted to work for them and ease the transition to .NET 3.5, but perhaps its something to look at. (It almost replicates LINQ on the 2.0 framework.)
