Launchpad error message contained raw source code and no formatting

I tried to mark bug 794861 a duplicate of bug 767475, and this failed with OOPS-1986CI42. This bug report is not for that error per se, but for the way it was displayed. (If I find that this error recurs and interferes with my work, I will search for / file a separate bug report for the error itself.) In the "Mark bug as duplicate" in-page window, the following text appeared unformatted as follows (except it may have been wrapped at a different number of characters, and it was all in bright red):

(( text will start after this line and the blank line that follows it ))

The following errors were encountered:

    Error: Timeout fieldset.collapsed div, fieldset div.collapsed {display: none;} fieldset.collapsible div, fieldset div.collapsed {display: block;} var LP = { cache: {}, links: {} }; var cookie_scope = '; Path=/; Secure; Domain=.launchpad.net'; // Define a global YUI sandbox that should be used by everyone. var LPS = YUI({ // Don't try to fetch the loader module. bootstrap: false, // Don't try to fetch CSS files. fetchCSS: false, // Turn off combo loading. combine: false, // For paranoia, set a low timeout to not wait on loading a resource. timeout: 50 }); LPS.use('node', 'event-delegate', 'lp', 'lp.app.links', function(Y) { Y.on('load', function(e) { sortables_init(); initInlineHelp(); Y.lp.activate_collapsibles(); activateFoldables(); activateConstrainBugExpiration(); Y.lp.app.links.check_valid_lp_links(); }, window); // Hook up the function that dismisses the help window if we click // anywhere outside of it.

I have attached a screenshot showing this.

Lorenzo (https://launchpad.net/~cthol) reported what appears to be a similar problem as https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/160770.

Perhaps this is related to yesterday's Launchpad maintenance.
