Edward with regards to the repeatability of this issue apport modifies the .crash file during the collection process. In ui.py we can see that collect_info is only called if the crash file is missing Dependencies and that bug patterns are checked as a part of collect_info. So only the first run of apport on a crash file would check the bug patterns and cause this crash.
