It occurred to me that glxinfo is from a package in universe and I was
able to recreate the crash using the following steps:

8:28:59 - flash:[~/Documents/subtitles] sudo chmod -x '/usr/bin/glxinfo'
[sudo] password for bdmurray: 
8:29:10 - flash:[~/Documents/subtitles] ubuntu-bug xorg
ERROR: hook /usr/share/apport/package-hooks//source_xorg.py crashed:

    and (hasattr(v[0], 'isalnum') or hasattr(v[0], 'read'))))
AssertionError

The existence of glxinfo should be tested before trying to run it.
