I should think that asking for the missing information (with copy on the
bug list so that other members of the squad might be aware of the
response) should be a valid option as well.

For the sake of not eventually getting swamped by leftovers, "add it to
the tracker" would likely be a better choice over "make a mental note to
ask for more information Real Soon Now (TM)".

And of course, adding more information is done _automatically_ when
someone responds to the tracked report.  So adding to the tracker with a
canned phrase "Small example, and error symptom still missing" might
well be a safe choice in any case.
