This is as COMPLETELY different bug, please file it as another one, it

That is very strange, and I have never seen this:
fmtutil: running `pdftex -ini   -jobname=amstex -progname=amstex
-translate-file
=cp227.tcx *amstex.ini' ...
This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.40.3 (Web2C 7.5.6) (INITEX)
 %&-line parsing enabled.
 (/usr/share/texmf-texlive/web2c/cp227.tcx)
entering extended mode
(/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/amstex/config/amstex.ini
(/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/plain/base/plain.tex
Preloading the plain format: codes, registers, parameters, fonts, more

the fmtutil/pdftex tries to input 
        /usr/bin/amstex
rubbish


As long as ubuntu does not switch to use reportbug this is completely
useless to debug.
