Brian, I've subscribed you to LP: #1505626 which has an example of this.
Perhaps it affects vivid only?

Title:
apport should filter username/homedir from JournalErrors.txt
Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
apport in Ubuntu 15.04 and 15.10 includes in bug reports a file
JournalErrors.txt that is the recorded output of the command
'journalctl -b --priority warning'. Apport also makes a best effort
attempt to filter out information that bug reporters would like to
keep private, like hostnames and usernames. However, the OneConf
service is reporting log entries to syslog/journald that look like:
Out 13 08:01:51 hostname com.ubuntu.OneConf[1120]:
WARNING:oneconf.hosts:Error in loading other_hosts file: [Errno 2] No
such file or directory:
'/home/USERNAME/.cache/oneconf/7ae519bec912345a6925fb2d5448031b/other_hosts'
... only with the actual home directory (and by extension username)
included in the path. Note that the hostname is correctly being
filtered (and replaced with 'hostname'), so some filtering is being
applied to this log file.
