Comment 1 Richard A. Sitze CLA 2012-01-08 15:30:45 EST 
seems related to checking the "use xmlrpc.cgi" checkbox on the repository "additional settings".
I can create a task when this is not checked.

Using bugzilla 4.0.3.

Comment 5 Sam Hasler CLA 2012-01-31 04:59:40 EST 
I'm also using a custom workflow file, so that might be the cause of the stacktrace in bug 369788.
Comment 6 Frank Becker CLA 2012-03-02 14:41:45 EST 
I can not reproduce this with the latest version.

We have done some changes in this area, can you please retry to reproduce this with the latest build.
