Generally such defects are called as Migrated defects.

As per my experience.. We move such defects to new project in Quality center, so a new defect number is created in new release. Now that has to tested depending on its severity and priority.

Note: Changes in functionality in release may effect the defect retest. that has to be considered and steps to retest have to be modified if required.

In my experience i have not followed the practice of logging new bugs to
associate with a deferred bug. What I have seen and practiced with in my
projects is have Developer will only resolve a bug as Deferred after its
discussed with in the triage meetings which involves the PM, Dev & Test Leads at
the minimum. So the decision will be taken as to which future release the can be
associated to before resolving the bug as deferred. So as a tester I would
regress this defect on the new release only if the bug’s status is updated to
Resolved-Fixed. If the status as in this case is not updated and is still
reflecting as Deferred, its deemed to be a delivery slippage from my Dev
counterpart and asks to be appraised during the subsequent triage for the way
forward.
