That's my suspicion. It's possible to go back in update the database manually, removing a few lines per bug entry, to prevent the scripts from barfing; or to change the scripts to avoid signalling that error. So this isn't a big problem. I'm using the version of debbugs from Don Armstrong's bzr repository, because older versions of debbugs won't even read the emacsbugs database. I'm not sure why the emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com server can display the old-format bugs, though.
