Only if you have a distinct product for client-a and client-b.

Otherwise, anyone creating a bug in a shared product would be forced to 
restrict it to ONLY people who are members of both client-a and client-b.

It is actually possible to set the group controls so that, for product 
"foo",  a group for which neither group of clients is a member is 
Default/Mandatory.  This will mean that only the reporter and your own 
staff will be able to see a bug unless someone on your staff goes in and 
changes the permissions to allow the rest of the client group to see it.
