I'm curious how (and whether) two negative qualities interact.
Count dice showing both 1 and 2 for determining a glitch. This does not affect critical glitches, only regular glitches.
Whenever you use any device, roll 2D6. If you get a 1 on either die, it means the device fails to function correctly and can be treated as a glitch. The device can be quickly reset with a Minor Action and used again. Rolling snake eyes (double 1s) means the device fails catastrophically, and the roll can be treated like a critical glitch. The device is done for good and you might be in for a bit of hurt from shock or biofeedback.
Does Bad Luck affect the dice from Gremlins? If so, how?

No. They are two different rolls. Bad Luck only effects glitches while making a test, where as Gremlins is a special effect roll that you make anytime a device is used even if there is no skill test involved.
The fun interaction is when you have both qualities and are using a device that requires a skill test. What happens when Bad Luck triggers a glitch and Gremlins trigger a failure. It's not covered by the rules, but I would stack the feects if both are triggered. IE a glitch plus a gremlin failure becomes a catastrophic failure
