This is crazy. I'll do my best on this one. This is really troubling though.

This comes from a place of not knowing, is there more information that QA can attach to bugs like this one that would be useful for you?

Probably not. This error basically says that there's an LDAP user the query is returning that doesn't have a unique ID. Given that's one of the constraints of our system (and is the ID we use for virtually everything in Mozillians), I just don't understand how this is possible.

I'm mostly voicing my concern that our user system is, seemingly, incredibly fragile. I am simply surprised this is possible.
