It strikes me that with athletes, you can set the broken nose, but the 
constant bumping of it really means that it never stays "set". In other 
words, they don't take two weeks off to let it heal properly. Notice Krum 
also shows the bent nose.
But, I agree that the MAGICAL healing spells to fix the nose are 
instantaneous, so even in Quidditch matches, the fix should be within hours 
of the break, leaving no trace. I can only imagine Dumbledore left that pain 
so he could "stew" in it.
But for Krum and Bagman, maybe it's a "cool wizard thing", or as someone 
else stated "cool with the chicks!"

There isn't cannon for the 2nd break, but since Dumbledore did well with a 
broom, we might be able to assume Quidditch. Again, maybe he liked looking 
roughed up, as if to say that he had lead a good life.

That reminds me of a quote to not let your body arrive in heaven in perfect 
condition, but to just slide in with your body well used as if to show that 
you had a good time doing it!
