I agree with your point but I disagree with your method.
I agree that they should also offer a means to communicate in other languages, if they have that capacity.
But, your choice of sentence structure - with clauses and formal social graces - would be hugely more difficult for a non-native speaker to parse correctly.
If the goal is to communicate with a non-native speaker, Facebook's message is appropriate for its clarity.
Bear in mind also that they probably do want incorrect bug reports to "go away" - unless Facebook apply infinite resources to this, some false negative errors are inevitable.
