Cecil,
It is (from my understanding of this bug) something to do with NVIDIA. and their drivers and the way they link with certain system libraries.

The people at Ubuntu do not make the proprietary NVIDIA drivers, so no one can be assigned.  No one can fix this except Nvidia (AFAIK).  It *may* be something as simple as an issue in the packaging, though it could be something as complex as the makefile having issues, or a problem in the code.
If it is a packaging issue, you may be able to fix it.... but I do not know.

That is the problem we face when being forced to use proprietary
software.  I cannot have suspend unless I use the proprietary driver.
But when I use it the graphics have odd glitches and problems, there are
these weird hard-to-solve bugs and there is no support.  I suppose you
could try to contact the NVIDIA developers, but that is possibly a dead
end.

I have since updated to Utopic, so I cannot help much... sorry.  You might find more answers using IRC #ubuntu on freenode
Just ask there and wait for someone to help.  Alternatively you can try AskUbuntu.

When you find your fix, you should post it here for others in your
situation

Title:
  User Accounts endless loop (never opens)

Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-331 package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in unity-control-center package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When I open the control center and click on User Accounts, the User Accounts never open.  It flashes and goes back to the control center screen.  The program then becomes unable to be closed.  I am required to kill the process manually.
  I cannot open any other options, after I click on the User Accounts option. 
  All options do the same thing... flash their screen and return to the control center, except the ones that launch an external application (U1, Language settings, etc...)
  Clicking on Time settings completely crashed the program, when it was in this state.
  Normally EVERY option just works as expected (other than the User Accounts)

  Obviously I am using Trusty (since this program just came into existence)

  I can provide any more info, and testing needed
