I interpret it as synonymous with "found" here -- someone "characterizing" the bug finds it and opens a bug report.

In professional engineering, you characterize the behavior after someone finds and reports it. Or you characterize a flow transducer, or you characterize gas circuit compliance. It’s the thing you do once you know there’s something to characterize.
OK. Well in the variety of work I do, which I suppose isn’t professional by this standard, typically the person who finds a bug and the person who describes it are one and the same.
