The crash happened when reportbug tried to guess the email address
before asking you to confirm/enter it.

If none of these variables were set, do you have any non-ascii
characters in your /etc/passwd entry or in a corresponding entry in
/etc/email-adresses?

Nope. No non-ascii characters for my user account entry in /etc/passwd. No non-ascii characters whatsoever as far as I can see. No e-mail address is specified in my user account entry.

Neither /etc/email-adresses nor /etc/email-addresses exist on my system. I don't have any MTA installed.

One thing that may stand out a bit in my /etc/passwd entry is my choice of default shell. I run fish, /usr/bin/fish. But I got the same error after changing to /bin/bash, running reportbug from a new login session
