I did not have to do an upgrade and reboot to hit this. It seems that my unity session crashed out and took me back the login prompt (so almost a restart). After that I did a ls -l on /var/crash to see if there was a new report. There was so I went to the launcher things and searched for 'up' which gave me a link to Software Updater, as I wanted. I started the updater so that it would see the crash report and start the bug report filing. It spotted the changes, opened a second window from which I could report the bug. I left that window alone while I waited for the main Software Updater window to finish checking for updates. While that was going I opened Chrome and let it restore its session so that I would be ready when a bug window opened. Once Chrome was sorted and all the updates were found I clicked send bug report, which then seemed to fail and then took me to this bug.
