The ulimit does not affect apport. Our kernel is patched to ignore the ulimit for apport (specifically, if /proc/kernel/core_pattern starts with a pipe). Thus, the information apport sends includes a core dump. In the data center, we have bots running which recombine those core dumps and debug symbols into symbolic stack traces. Look at [1] for example.
