When using Ubuntu 12.04 and experiencing crash reports I too have noticed that the version number is included in the operating system crash alert dialog.

This bug was fixed in the package apport - 1.94.1-0ubuntu2

---------------
apport (1.94.1-0ubuntu2) precise; urgency=low

  * Merge from trunk:
    - ui.py: Ensure that the report file is readable by the crash reporting
      daemon after running through collect_info(). Thanks Evan Dandrea.
    - apport-gtk, apport-kde: Set the window title to the distribution name, as
      per http://wiki.ubuntu.com/ErrorTracker#error . Thanks Evan Dandrea.
      (LP: #948015)
    - test/run: Ignore obsolete packages on the system, to avoid breaking the
      GUI tests due to them.
    - hookutils.py, attach_alsa(): Add the full "pacmd list" output instead of
      just sinks and sources. Thanks David Henningsson.
    - apport-gtk: Fix handling of non-ASCII strings in message dialogs.
      (LP: #865394)
