to raise a exception isn't a bug

I've already explained it twice, but I'll try for a third (and last)
time: *the* bug (*as a whole*) isn't closed as "Invalid". And it is not
reported (only) against the wrong package, but it's reported against the
wrong *and* the correct package.
Have you even looked ad the report? The packages affected along with
their status wrt the bug are shown next to the top of the page. There
one can see that the status is "Invalid" wrt the wrong package *and*
"Fix Released" wrt the correct package.

See above.

I don't see anything wrong here. But if you you disagree, go ahead and
file a bug against launchpad.

That's what I call really, really bad PR:
