As you noticed, reporting bugs about Ubuntu via Launchpad is a special case that takes you to the wiki page (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs) instead of to the actual bug filing page like every other project in Launchpad. The Ubuntu project prefers this approach due to the high number of bugs being reported. As IKT noted above, a majority of Ubuntu bugs come into Launchpad via the automated apport system.

Your suggestions on rewording the Launchpad timeout page is a good one. We always strive to eliminate unnecessary jargon. The OOPS id is a very important indicator and I feel having it readily visible for all outweighs problems of novice users not being able to find it when needed.
