 The Market's bug reporting is a nice idea but very poorly executed, as you
have seen, with how it (fails to) report device information and the way it
divides user comments from the callstacks. I recommend everyone implement
their own bug reporting solution, if you can get away with it (i.e., already
have internet permission).

I am also starting to suspect that Market sometimes corrupts applications

Yup. I don't have receivers, but I see this from time to time with my
Activity classes, which are obviously clearly defined. I also think there is
some corruption going on with the update process, as that is usually when I
see this stuff.

And when users have weird issues I can't reproduce (strange things like not
being able to connect to the internet when other apps work) an uninstall -
reinstall fixes the problem most of the time.
