I'd tracked the update-manager case down to the following in
apport/ui.py:

    try:
        report.add_package_info(package)
    except ValueError:
        # this happens if we are collecting information on an uninstalled
        # package
        if not ignore_uninstalled:
            raise
    except SystemError as e:
        report['UnreportableReason'] = excstr(e)
        return

We are returning from thread_collect_info() before we've written the
collected information to the report. Removing the return works but then
'UnreportableReason' was changed to 'This package does not seem to be
installed correctly'.  I think this issue with /etc/apt/sources.list is
likely a separate bug (than the menulibre examples in the description),
so I'll open a separate bug for it.

Title:
  incomplete crash files getting uploaded to the error tracker

Status in “apport” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Looking at some crash reports in the Ubuntu Error Tracker, I saw a
  couple that there were odd because they were missing the DistroRelease
  data.

  https://errors.ubuntu.com/oops/b6579caa-1f91-11e4-b37e-fa163e75317b

  That error was reported at 2014-08-09 06:52:21 (b6579caa-1f91-11e4
  -b37e-fa163e75317b) inserted into OOPS CF.  Shortly, afterwards
  (2014-08-09 06:52:34 (bd8b1dbc-1f91-11e4-9deb-fa163e22e467) inserted
  into OOPS CF) an OOPS from the same user was reported.

  https://errors.ubuntu.com/oops/bd8b1dbc-1f91-11e4-9deb-fa163e22e467

  The second OOPS has all the data collected including Dependencies, and
  DistroRelease.  whoopsie should only upload the .crash file if there
  is a .upload file so it seems likely that apport created the .upload
  file prematurely. Although, for that to be the case then apport would
  have to modify the .upload file again such that whoopsie noticed it.
  Regardless, there is something odd going on.

  I found a second example too:
