I can't really comment on both. But one big difference between them is
that trac is a full project managment system, including source/history
browsing, timeline/roadmap, wiki...
Roundup on the other hand is only and simply a bug tracker.

Some real life roundup examples seems in order:

And the feature set is probably worth a read:
http://roundup.sourceforge.net/doc-1.0/features.html
