@Brian That's interesting and I never knew that ubuntu-bugs was a wrapper like that... I guess the clue was the exact same output from both!
I have just played around with apport-cli a little and it even has the same -w parameter for window targeting (well duh, of course it would!) so am definitely going to try and report my next bug by running that command :-) @Nicholas I have tried to submit from the command line like this but I never find it efficient to write down the complex url and then finish submission of the bug report on another browser. It's definitely possible though and good as a fail safe.
