I think I've found how to reproduce it. It occurs when:
* the editor for Mutt is Emacs 24,
* Emacs runs in the terminal (e.g. because X11 DISPLAY is not
available, but this can also be done with "emacs -nw"),
* I type Ctrl-G in Emacs.
A Ctrl-G in Emacs 24 has the effect to send a SIGINT to the whole
process group (previous Emacs versions behave differently, and this
problem was fixed in the Emacs trunk[*]) since Emacs changes the
INTR character to Ctrl-G for internal use and doesn't put itself
in its own process group. Mutt itself is not affected and I could
check that it terminates normally, i.e. with a 0 exit status. So,
I suppose that reportbug can't handle the SIGINT gracefully. Or
it could be due to this dash bug:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=683671
since a ps shows that reportbug runs Mutt via "sh -c".
