No error message. The bug page appeared just as if the CVE reference
was added successfully. I used that CVE linking feature many times
before encountering this bug, so I didn't even notice the problem the
first time it happened.

I used the corresponding CVE numbers for each bug in the form
2008-1234, without the "CVE" prefix, because I did already know by the
time that the "Link to CVE" form doesn't accept the CVE-2008-1234
syntax (by the way, why?). On the other hand, when searching the CVE
tracker I did enter the prefix, so the queries were like
CVE-2008-1234.

Now I cannot reproduce this problem on this bug #241435. I will try to
reproduce it on more Ubuntu bugs reported by me and others as new
vulnerabilities appear. I'll update this report accordingly.
