this is because they use 'xdg-open' to open the configured browser, while reportbug uses sensible-browser, because it's flexible and chooses the correct browser based on the enviroment it's executed. Note that xdg-open is not suitable to be used outside a graphical environment, as many times happen when using reportbug. In fact, reportbug is not a gnome/GUI application, it just has a GUI frontend to the main core, and I bet several users still prefers text UI (or need to use reportbug in a non-graphical environment). My best suggestions is to convince sensible-utils maintainers (the package that contains sensible-browser) to use xdg-open if executed in a graphical environment, since we stay with sensible-browser. If you agree, I'd close this bug.
