You have been subscribed to a public bug:
Apport allows hooks to add arbitrary tags, and passes them through to
the launchpad crashdb implementation lowercased but otherwise
unmolested. However, launchpad restricts the form of tags and will raise
an error both in the api and the web interface otherwise.
"Tags must start with a letter or number and be lowercase. The
characters "+", "-" and "." are also allowed after the first character."
This allows a package to incautiously create an invalid tag, then
renders the bug unreportable. See bug 1029471 in the unity packaging for
an example of this, which is exacerbated by bug 1024836 in apport
masking the real error.
