This is due to a recent change in MIMEText() in python3.3. Adjusted in apport trunk r2704.

This bug was fixed in the package apport - 2.12.3-0ubuntu1

---------------
apport (2.12.3-0ubuntu1) saucy; urgency=low

  * New upstream bug fix release:
    - ProblemReport.write_mime(): Adjust MIMEText handling to latest Python
      3.3 upstream changes which now don't tolerate passing bytes any more.
      (LP: #1227381)
    - apport-gtk: Don't use obsolete add_with_viewport() method any more.
    - Fix ui_present_report_details() "modal_for" keyword for all UI
      implementations, so that --hanging works for -cli and -kde, too.
      (LP: #1213790)
