Confirmed that the ubuntu-bug script doesn't know about the -c option.
I also noticed something else:
When I run ubuntu-bug --help I get the help output with following usage description:

Usage: apport-gtk [options]

I then tried running apport-gtk in the terminal to check the output and got:

-bash: apport-gtk: command not found

after that I double checked the script and found that apport-gtk is not in a PATH directory but instead in /usr/share/apport/ . I don't know if there is a reason for this, but ubuntu-bug should not give a cli usage description of something that can't be found in PATH. (note: apport-cli is in /usr/bin/ like it should).

ubuntu-bug passes through -c just fine. However, calling apport-{gtk,kde,cli} with -f -c is invalid, since -f means "file a bug" while "-c" means "report a crash". The UI can only be invoked in one mode.

I'll change "ubuntu-bug /path/to/foo.crash" to do the right thing.

This bug was fixed in the package apport - 0.148

---------------
apport (0.148) jaunty; urgency=low

  [ Matt Zimmerman ]
  * apport/hookutils.py: add attach_media_build to include information about
    the build of installation media in use (i.e. in a casper live CD
    environment)
  * general-hooks/ubuntu.py: use attach_media_build (LP: #351781)
  * bin/apportcheckresume: Use attach_file_if_exists rather than attach_file to
    avoid spurious error messages about non-existent log files (LP: #351973)

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * debian/local/ubuntu-bug: Drop generic passthrough of apport-{cli,gtk,kde}
    options since this leads to too much confusion. Instead just support a
    single argument and check whether it is a pid, a package name, a .crash
    file, or a program path. This does the right thing when calling it with a
    .crash file (LP: #347392) and fixes the help output (LP: #344923) Update
    manpage accordingly.
  * apport/hookutils.py: Move attach_media_build() to
    general-hooks/ubuntu.py, since it is Ubuntu specific.
  * bin/apport-retrace: Fix KeyError crash on bugs with an ExecutablePath
    which does not exist any more. Close the bug as invalid instead.
    (LP: #352331)
  * bin/kernel_oops: Add "kernel-oops" tag. Since both bin/kernel_oops and
    bin/apportcheckresume use the "kerneloops" bug class, it previously was
    hard to filter out the bug reports which were real oopses. (LP: #349621)
