@Sergio: no problem. Although, you're missing part of the picture - if what you
said was true, we'd have to change the bug title for every bug reported against
a version which still is there in the next one. It's instead useful to know
when a certain bug/regression/etc started to track the cause, strange enough,
by changing the title you would remove information instead of improving them!
And the status "reopened" is usually useful for tracking multiple appearances
of the same bug. In the same fashion, we might go as far as saying that this
was more a bug on its own than a regression, since it was caused by external
applications.

That said, it's obvious that bug descriptions might be misleading from an
user's point of view sometimes, but remember that the first target of a bug are
developers and triagers, and the format should be as friendly as possible to
them - *especially* for bugs like these with lots of comments and with a very
high priority. The main expectation from an user should be not to have bugs
more than being able to track issues on a bug tracker easily ;) though I reckon
that in this specific case giving out more information might be very useful -
I'll probably blog about this very soon to help spreading the news.
