Bug report says "You are not the assignee nor the maintainer", when you are or that's not relevant

Bug Description

1. Log out of Launchpad, if you are not logged out already.
2. Visit a bug report for a project/package for which you are the maintainer (or a member of the maintaining team).
3. Expand the section of the "Affects" table for your project/package.

What you see: "You are not the bug assignee nor the maintainer of {context}, and therefore cannot edit this bug's status."

What you should see: "You need to log in to change this bug’s status." (As pointed out by William Grant in bug 252827, you don't need to be the assignee or maintainer; you just need to be logged in at all.)

It may save time to fix bug 96751 at the same time as this bug.

I just hit this again due to Launchpad for some reason (an lp upgrade?) losing my authentication credentials, and was momentarily confused.
