Sorry Chris, but your suggested command failed because it was looking for a package called "bcmwl". The package installed, as quoted in my bug subject, is bcmwl-kernel-source. This is because it is installed as a dkms module that has to be compiled against the appropriate kernel headers.
I don't know how to run apport-collect against this bug reference number, and yet make it collect from the valid ubuntu package name. Could you tell me, please?

Most of the time wifi works perfectly. Occasionally, when using wifi hotspots away from home, the system never makes a connection. Usually I see similar stack traces in the syslog, but the attached extract is the only example I have to hand. The system is resuming after suspend, but I do not believe that aspect is relevant. I have seen similar crashes after powering on, and (to repeat myself) in more than one hot spot. I suspect there is an edge case in negotiating with some wifi routers that is not handled properly. (Perhaps I am prejudiced, but I get the feeling that the problem routers are in iPhone-friendly environments).
