Hello Fritz, (I really hope that the email I'm writing will be read, given the unhappy "spamexpire-201207" part in the email address.. please consider Debian BTS is highly based on emails exchange, so if you jeopardize this channel, it's unlikely your bugs get addressed/resolved).

Writing to ~/myreport.txt failed; using instead /tmp/reportbug-release.debian.org-20120818-12792-sf7_gQ Bug report written as /tmp/reportbug-release.debian.org-20120818-12792-sf7_gQ > The workaround is to use $HOME instead of "~". because $HOME is expanded by the shall you're calling reportbug from; the proper fix is to expand ~ in the reportbug code, which I'm about to do.
