... but then he goes on to list 4 or 5 different features,

I'll add one more case, which seems to happen to me all the time:

- You're in IRC or email, and all the bug reporter has given you is a
  random copy and paste from their terminal.  They don't care to open
  a bug; they don't much care about anything except getting a fix.

Minidebuginfo would help here.
