After some discussion in Bug#1070881[1], Nis suggested that a possible workaround is to unset $HOME so that reportbug won't read ~/.reportbugrc[2], and I have tested this to be working[3]. As much as I'd like to propose adding an option to skip loading any configuration files for reportbug, I guess this settles our immediate concerns, and Daniel can re-enable "list-cc-me" in ~/.reportbugrc in case he uses reportbug directly. Thanks everyone for the testing and suggestions!
