I checked on IRC #ubuntu-hardened (the actual name for the #ubuntu-security channel) and was told that "we typically only consider bugs to have a security impact if there's an attacker to the story". The reason for that is "else, almost every bug has an indirect security impact" which I can see the logic to.

So that means this is not a security bug, just a bug.
