Ah, I think this can happen on a multi-user system where .crash files owned by a user other than the logged in user exist. In asala's /var/crash directory we can see .crash files owned by asala and by user.

We can get the same permission denied error by running the following on a crash file we don't own:

/usr/share/apport/apport-gtk /var/crash/_usr_bin_compiz.1000.crash

However, running /usr/share/apport/apport-checkreports does not return 0 indicating that there is a new crash for us....
