I mean, when there's a crash libreport should pop up and offer to file
the bug for you. You need to enter bugzilla credentials and then it
automatically files the bug details including uploading all files.
Before it does this, it checks if a bug has already been filed with
this mechanism so that there aren't duplicates filed. It'll tell you
the URL for the found bug. You don't have to check, it does it for
you. If you go to the that bug URL there might be a suggestion how to
work around it.

It's a crash. If there isn't already a bug filed then I'd definitely
say you've hit an edge case.
