A trimmed-out test case, with comments removed, and identifiers renamed,
is still a "derived" work, but presumably many customers would be
willing to disclaim copyright interest. Perhaps as part of your
bug resolution procedure you could ask "could you please review
this simplified test case as to whether we can release it". This
does involve some customer education, so it is probably only worthwhile
for your bigger customers - i.e. those who submit lots of test cases.
Robert can say more about this, but remember that the biggest companies
are usually the ones with the biggest legal department ...
