This should be fixed in reportbug 7.6.0. Could you please test and confirm?

Yes, using the M-A qualifier was simply a workaround to help reportbug
find the installed package. It wasn't a solution because it broke the
version checking, as you noted. Hopefully with the new reportbug the
incomplete workaround is no longer needed.
Reportbug could be taught to strip off any M-A qualifier before querying
new versions, but I'm not sure it is worth implementing that since
ideally everything should just work without the qualifier in the first
place.
