I cannot reproduce your problem and neither find a problem in the code. Running "env -u DISPLAY ubuntu-bug -w apport" on a fresh Ubuntu 22.04 installation (with GNOME and wayland) opens apport-gtk correctly. Neither killing Xwayland nor only setting WAYLAND_DISPLAY by running "env -i WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0 ubuntu-bug -w apport" did change anything (note: apport-gtk crashed in the latter case, but it was called).
Supporting WAYLAND_DISPLAY as alternative was implemented in bug #1418766 long time ago. Can you reproduce your problem?
