Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I believe this is because that broadcom-sta-dkms is run as root (thus created a crash file at /var/crash owned as root) but you tried to read it as a normal user? If it is the case then it's not crash but an error that you should run apport-kde as root in order to process that crash file.
