This is deliberate because we want you to use 'ubuntu-bug' to report the
bug as it gathers detailed information about your system and the
application's configuration.

I'm curious where it said you had to file a bug through the
application's report a bug menu.  I'd guess it was in your web browser
when you were filing in the bug report at launchpad.net.  Is that
correct?

Thanks for bringing this to our attention - if people are having
problems reporting bugs we are very interested in hearing about it!

Oh, it looks like you got your bug reported -
http://launchpad.net/bugs/904797.  Quickly looking at the other
rhythmbox bugs these two definitely seem related and all three are
probably about the same issue:
