If you get an assert failure, yes, you should submit a bug report.

No. When an assert failure is reached, there is _nothing_ to do. An assert
failure means that some piece of code did something that it was not supposed
to do. At this point, the memory may be corrupted anywhere, and continuing
anything in the application is a risk of making things worse, and in
particular a possibility of security exploit. Even printing the file and
line is a risk.
