Hello wim,
please do not inflate the severity: not being able to use apt-listbugs
is unfortunate, but not a "user security hole"...

Thanks for reporting this bug.

However, it is a duplicate of [#1125030]. I am merging the two bug
reports right now.

[#1125030]: <https://bugs.debian.org/1125030>

This means that you are seeing the same issue with reportbug/querybts,
which are python programs, totally unrelated to apt-listbugs.
The only thing in common is that both apt-listbugs and querybts use the
Debian BTS SOAP interface.
And the problem is on the server side, see bug [#1126340]

It often fails, but not always.
You just had luck, when testing trixie...
