Agreed that *ideally* an URI for the forwarded bug is provided. But does
the omission *invalidate* the data points of "yes, it has been forwarded
somewhere not mentioned, and has also been forwarded to some downstream
confusingly labelled "Upstream"?

I suggest to go ahead and file a bug against the service, suggesting to
clarify (e.g. using a hover string) what causes an invalidation, and
also to choose a different keyword (e.g. "ambiguous" or "weak") when
strictly speaking it is not invalid per the spec but just somehow not
ideal.
