To start with, both email addresses are different. Are you sure about this?

Yes, the bug does in fact happen, I did type in the incorrect email address though, sorry.

This error message is due to the "strict isolation" feature and has nothing to do with sudo. The message complains about users who are already in place and which cannot edit bugs being in some given product. This message generally happens when you move the bug to another product. As you are removing users from the CC list, the name of the user being impersonated is not expected to appear.
