I had this trouble also when attempting to report a crash using abrt-cli
from the console.  The abrt-cli manpage suggests ...

        	-r, --report CRASH_ID	create and send a report
        ...
        CRASH_ID can be:
        	UID:UUID pair,
        	unique UUID prefix  - the crash with matching UUID will be acted upon
        	@N  - N'th crash (as displayed by --list --full) will be acted upon

If I'm understanding the problem you noted, it seems like a valid bug if
you enter the first 6 unique characters of a crash UUID, and it doesn't
locate the matching crash.  Is that the behavior you were seeing?  It
wasn't allowing you to report a crashing when attempting the documented
short-hand notation for specifying a CRASH_ID?

Thanks,
James
